The premier island lodge in Zambia

Royal Chundu Island Lodge, Zambia’s inaugural Relais & Châteaux establishment, epitomizes peace, exclusivity, and privacy while highlighting the region’s finest offerings.  It is the most exclusive of the two lodges at Royal Chundu, situated on the private island of Katombora along the Zambezi River near Victoria Falls.

 Island Lodge features merely four secluded villas, situated amidst baobab trees and 2000-year-old Jackalberry trees.  Each expansive villa, adorned with a vibrant cobalt blue and earthy tones, boasts an open-air riverfront bath, a glass-walled double shower, a king-size extra-length bed, and a substantial private balcony, epitomizing romance.

 In the dining room of the main lodge, one can savor a fusion of traditional and foreign food.  Anticipate cuisine that reflects the profound cultural legacy of the area and the warmth of Zambian hospitality.  The majority of the fare is procured locally or cultivated organically on-site, and Royal Chundu exemplifies a strong commitment to sustainability and community enhancement.  The lodge features fully-equipped bar facilities, two lounges, an infinity pool, and a cozy boma area.  Engage in bird-watching, fishing, kayaking, or embark on a sunset boat tour down the winding river.  Absorb and relish the essence of Africa during an island stroll or picnic.
