Chundukwa River Lodge

An idyllic family-run lodge located on a working horse ranch

Chundukwa River Lodge

Chundukwa River Lodge, a family-friendly retreat just 25 kilometres from Victoria Falls, is set on a working horse ranch, home to over 40 horses and a variety of farm animals. 

This unique setting makes it perfect for families looking to immerse themselves in tranquil nature beyond the tourist crowds of Victoria Falls and Livingstone. The spacious Chundu Cottage, with three bedrooms and a private pool, offers an ideal space for families. A small team of chef, waiter and housekeeper will ensure your every need is met and allow parents to truly unwind. The riverside dining area and firepit is the ideal spot to debrief the day G&T in hand. 

Families can explore the ranch on horseback, with riding lessons available for all ages, or enjoy a sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, where hippos, elephants, and crocodiles are frequent visitors. A guided trip to Victoria Falls allows families to discover the world’s largest waterfall at their own pace, while back at the lodge, children can interact with the farm’s animals and learn about Zambian life.

Chundukwa River Lodge blends luxurious accommodation with hands-on, educational experiences, making it a peaceful and enriching retreat for families seeking adventure and relaxation.
