When we first arrived we were told by the main host that this was not a 5 star lodge. She's right and if that is what you're looking for go to the Royal Livingstone (a tad too colonial for our tastes but without a doubt luxurious). If however you are looking for a wonderful time, clean and cozy rooms, fabulous food and staff that will go out of their way for you. This is the place. My only recommendation is if possible and feasible get a generator. One morning there was no electricity and there was no back up. That said it was a great stay, but prospective guests must be honest with themselves about the kind of vacation they want. This was the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure and pampering for our group.

No complaints, but just know that you are getting a nice quiet basic getaway. We got service staff for our room, cooking and serving our meals, which was nice. But the accommodation is pretty basic, no internet, they only have enough towels 1 per guest, the transport service is a crappy beat up van. We were treated well and enjoyed our stay - BUT I feel that it's over-priced for what you get. We were told "We don't try to be, nor do we want to be, a 5-star resort" - which is fine, but then they need to lower their prices. I shouldn't be paying NY rates in Zambia. Period.

We stayed at Chundukwa about 5 weeks ago. The only guests the second night, we were spoilt with our own trip to the local island (complete with drinks of choice on the boat), lovely homestyle cooking enjoying some local dishes), and accommodation where you wake up and see the water without having to open a curtain. Our room was absolutely like the photo!

The host is very knowledgeable and will go our of her way to ensure you fit in all you should to make your stay special. e.g. Livingstone Island tour - very worthwhile!!

Can highly recommend.

Stayed for 3 nights after a very active Safari in South Africa. What a good find Our Lodge was at the very end so nobody was wandering past at night except the elephants and Hipos in the river. All the staff were very helpfull. The beds very comfortable Went on a visit to the village were the staff came from and the new village school this was a very good visit. You see life as it is on this visit it is a most do visit Suggest you take a football or pens etc. for the school. Ideal place to see the falls
