A family-friendly getaway
Children of all ages are welcome at Royal Chundu and specifically catered for in our unique Children’s Club with an exciting daily programme. Both River Lodge and Island Lodge suites can sleep two adults sharing with two children. * Please note that at Island Lodge children are only allowed when the lodge is hired on an exclusive-use basis.
Upon arrival, your guide will discuss activity options with you, considering family size, age and weather. Each of your young ones will receive a special River Safari Adventure Pack. A welcoming treasure hunt will help familiarise them with our staff and surroundings, allowing you peace of mind throughout your stay. Parents are welcome to join their children in the activities or to relax while our River Guides or Child Minders take over the supervising.
Before, during or after your visit, or even as a faraway friend and follower, you can join in on our Zambezi lessons in our online school, The Royal Chundu Homeschool, through our blog and social media! !
