Make your Mother’s Day special by treating her to a memorable getaway at Chundu Island. Chundu Island is a private oasis where nothing else seems to exist but the beauty of Zimbabwe’s natural habitat. 

Located just 21km upstream from the magnificent Victoria Falls, Chundu Island is 1.4km of raw, natural beauty, culminating in a seasonal white soft sandy beach on the western-most tip of the island.

The room solitude is afforded by magnificent shade trees; with each room extending off to its own extensive private deck complimented by relaxing daybeds and outdoor fans providing a cool place to admire the view of the Zambezi and surrounding National Park.

The range of activities offered reflects the prime location and the dedicated, knowledgeable staff on hand; from game drives and walks in the Zambezi National Park to island walks; from sundowner cruises to fun fishing and canoeing on the mighty Zambezi; and day tours to the magnificent Victoria Falls.

Private and peaceful, a birdlover’s paradise bounded by wildlife, here you will find the best of Africa’s natural offerings from a seasonal beach and flooded marshes to lush wetlands and open grasslands.

Breathtaking Chundu Island, accessible by boat, is only 21km upstream from Zimbabwe’s legendary Victoria Falls. Eight spacious palm thatched en-suite rooms, each with their own private deck and perfect view of the Zambezi, are nestled beneath the magnificent riverine trees.

Chundu is perfectly positioned to provide guests with prime access to the Zambezi National Park, where 4×4 safaris soak up the sights and sounds of the African bush. Enjoy the wealth of the bush and Zambezi River with walking trails, river cruises and fishing.

Chundu provides the perfect foil to the bustling town’s excitement. Maximise the flight to Victoria Falls and enjoy the peace and privacy of island living, canoeing and sunset cruises as well as game drives and bush walks.
