Your stay in one of our five Riverside Chalets or exclusive Chundu Cottage includes airport transfers, a guided Victoria Falls day trip, delicious farm-to-table dining, selected drinks and a choice of immersive lodge experiences designed to connect you with the river, wildlife and local culture. From sunrise cruises and horseback adventures to floating picnics and peaceful bush walks, every day is yours to shape.

Green Season Offer: Stay 3 Nights or more & witness Victoria Falls at her most powerful!

Experience the Magic of High Water Season!

For guests seeking exceptional value, our Green Season Long Stay Offer is available for stays of three nights or more between 1 January – 30 April 2027 and 1 November – 20 December 2027.

This special offer invites you to experience the magic of the Zambezi during one of the most beautiful times of year. The landscape is vibrant and green, birdlife is at its most spectacular, the river is full of life, and Victoria Falls reaches its magnificent peak flow. With fewer visitors and a more relaxed pace, it is the perfect time to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy all the inclusions of your Chundukwa stay at a special rate.

Stay longer, experience more, and discover why the Emerald Season is one of our favourite times of year.
