Your private Zambezi Escape!

Available on a sole-use basis, the lodge is an ideal escape for a family or group of friends in search of a luxurious getaway close to nature. Designed to blend in with the Zambezi landscape, the cottage offers outstanding privacy, comfort and space. Soak up the sun around your pool, share an al fresco feast with the whole family or simply unwind amid your secluded, wild garden with a hippo chorus for company.

The cottage sleeps up to six guests and children of all ages are welcome.


A house for the whole tribe.


The cottage features two bedrooms downstairs and a loft bedroom upstairs, ideal for older children. Guests will revel in the space - complete with a large living area, swimming pool, a choice of outdoor dining areas, wi-fi, a coffee bar and a fully-equipped kitchen.

“We descended on Chundukwa as a big mad family taking up Chundu cottage and two River Chalets. We went for the catered, all-inclusive package and wow wow wow! We were totally blown away with the thought, effort and love that we received from the entire team. Our stay was littered with sun-kissed Zambezi River moments, beautiful horse rides, lazy pond fishing, happy kiddy chaos, incredible food, and warmth that made us feel utterly enveloped in the luxury. The many, many beautiful details and moments, and memories that they made look so effortless, were all noticed and so deeply appreciated. This was by far the best family holiday we have ever had! Thank you Gail and Doug, and your incredible team, for weaving the magic threads that made it the unforgettable holiday that it was.”

“Spent 3 nights here with friends and it was so amazing. We loved everything! We had our own chef at the cottage. The food could have been served in a 5 star restaurant - it was always delicious and the snacks were yummy as well. One night we ate our dinner near the river and it was magical!
We were so comfortable here we didn't even want to leave on our second day - so we went horseback riding along the Zambezi River, swam and lounged around our lodge. The horses are lovely and we even went back to the stables in the afternoon. Thomas brought us out a big basket of carrots to feed them while we learned all about the horses. It was all a dream and I'm dreaming of our time there now!”
