Hessah was a superb host and got us settled in to our beautiful accommodations. The service was exceptional in every way and dining was a treat thanks to Sungani and his... More

When we were told we were going 65km from Livingstone, we started to worry but once we arrived at the Royal Chundu and were welcomed by Aggie and her team, we felt like we were at home (well better weather and serbice than at home.) The RC has a main island with 10 villas and an island with 4 villas.... More

... go here often, bringing your family, friends and acquaintances to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime. From the red carpet welcome you receive on arrival until your tearful departure, you will be treated like royalty by Hessah, Aggie and their wonderfully cheerful and helpful colleagues.

From the moment you arrive you are treated like the only visitor they have, the staff are exceptionally friendly and the service is world-class I stayed on the Island villa, there are only 4 villas and they are all very private and on the bank of the Zambezi river with a huge deck (and a bath) overlooking the river.

I've just returned from a three week stay in Southern Africa. Among the several places I visited (all of which were wonderful), Royal Chundu really stands out for their service and above and beyond attitude. Aggie, the manager of the Island Lodge where we stayed, is the most friendly and accommodating individual. She put together an amazing itinerary of activities... More

We stayed in an island lodge and I really cannot recommend this place enough. Hi to the amazing staff! The service and the setting were the best thing about this place. I've never stayed anywhere with such attention to detail, by the end of the week the front of house staff had my complete faith and trust.
