Chundu Island offers both early morning and late afternoon safari drives conducted in specially adapted open Landcruisers, with experienced and qualified guides. In the interests of conservation we are committed to our no off-road driving policy. Safari drives take place in the Zambezi National Park, which together with the Victoria Falls National Park extends over an area of 56 000 hectares.
A typical morning drive includes an early start with a fresh cup of coffee or tea and a snack, and a short ferry ride across the river to the park. From there your guide will drive you through the park for approximately 2.5 hours exploring the scenic beauty of this beautiful park while looking out for the numerous species that inhabit this area.
Fish from the island or putter upstream on our fishing boat, trying your hand at catching the pugnacious Nembwe Bream or take on the tussling Tigerfish – we supply rods and tackle. While our chefs will be delighted to prepare a fish you’ve caught for you to eat, all fish that are not going to be eaten must be returned to the water. We are proud supporters of catch and release fishing. For serious fishermen, please enquire about fishing charters which we will be happy to book for you at an extra charge.
Wander the island pathways on your own and discover our incredible birdlife, monkeys and Bushbuck families. Relax with a book or just enjoy the solitude at various points along the island. Children must be accompanied by an adult on all island walks.
Birding on Chundu Island and in the Zambezi National Park offers more than 400 species of (recorded) birds, including rarities such as the African Finfoot (Podica senegalensis) and Pel’s Fishing Owl (Scotopelia peli) as well as the Shalow’s Turaco (Tauraco schalowi) which shares similar physical traits and habit to the Livingstone’s Turaco (though never sharing a range). This bright green bird has the longest crest of all the Turaco’s and occurs from western Angola and southern DRC to Tanzania, Zambia, the Caprivi Strip (Namibia) and northern Botswana. It is spotted fairly regularly on the island as well as in the park.
