The rising sun sparks a dawn chorus from the incredible birdlife on the island. Days are spent relaxing by the pool with the best view on the river, or enjoying a variety of water and wildlife activities including canoeing, fun-fishing, island walks, river cruises, game drives, and safari walks.

End the day with a sundowner cruise or cocktails at the bar as the fiery sunset reflects off the water and the sky fills with the silhouettes of water birds taking off for their night’s roost.

Whether guests want to participate in every activity or do as little as possible, days are spent surrounded by nature. The lodge and island are captivating settings either way. Brightly coloured birds flit past the suites, gentle bushbuck graze shyly along pathways, and wading birds fish along the water’s edge, while in the water hippos grunt and chase each other and crocodiles dive for prey.

Each suite’s outdoor deck includes day beds and bean bag loungers, with palm frond roofing overhead and a fan to simulate a cool breeze on still days. Inside, comfortable beds, crisp white linen, mosquito netting, and individual fans are just a few of the thoughtful conveniences provided by the team at Chundu Island to ensure guest comfort. Of course, outdoor showers add to the island magic too.

A team of friendly staff, skilled chefs, and knowledgeable guides ensure guest safety and enjoyment. Chundu Island is a magical way to experience the joy of living as nature intended it, all with Victoria Falls close by.
