A combination of thrilling adventure at Masuwe Lodge in Victoria Falls, Africa’s Adventure Capital and peaceful relaxation at the serenely beautiful Chundu Island.
Masuwe Lodge is only a 10-minute drive from the bustling town of Victoria Falls where one can tour “The Falls”, participate in a variety of extreme sports, enjoy the thrill of helicopter trips high above the spray from the waterfall and spend time unearthing local treasures in the curio stores.
After an energetic day exploring the “The Falls” and the town, visitors return to the tranquillity of the lodge followed by optional game drives in the Chamabonda National Park. With complimentary transfers in and out of town, Masuwe Lodge is the perfect base from which to experience the excitement and wonders of Victoria Falls, while enjoying the gentle ebb and flow of safari life.
Chundu Island, located on a private island concession on the Zambezi River, Chundu Island offers the perfect foil to the hustle and bustle of Victoria Falls.
The surroundings and construction of the lodge sets a ‘Seychelles meets Zambezi’ mood and the spacious palm thatched suites sheltered by huge riverine trees along the edge of the island overlook the mighty Zambezi River, the fourth largest watercourse in Africa. Chundu Island falls within the Zambezi National Park which boasts a wide range of wildlife. Elephants, hippos and other animals are often seen on the southern bank of the river a few hundred metres from the lodge.
The best of both worlds is on offer here, with a combination of water activities and wildlife viewing.
Game drives and walks, canoeing on the river, fishing and birding, and stunning sunsets are just some of the attractions of the barefoot island-lifestyle at Chundu.
Guests choose activities upon arrival at the lodge and are regularly briefed about the various activity options on offer.
