Chirundu: Chirundu Safari Lodge
Among the places of Zambia’s Southern Province, Chirundu Safari Lodge stands out for its riverside setting beside the Zambezi, close to Chirundu’s border crossing with Zimbabwe. Here the Zambezi forms the international boundary and gives the settlement its role as a transport and river-travel stop on the route between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Palms and dense riverine vegetation lend the lodge grounds a distinctly tropical character. Chirundu Bridge is the locality’s defining piece of infrastructure, carrying road traffic across one of southern Africa’s great rivers.

Chirundu occupies the northern bank of the Zambezi River on Zambia’s frontier with Zimbabwe. The town is an important crossing point on the road route linking Lusaka with Zimbabwe, centred on the Chirundu border post and bridge over the river. Here, the Zambezi is both an international boundary and a defining part of local life, supporting trade, transport and river travel through the valley. The river corridor continues toward Lower Zambezi National Park, where floodplains and woodland shelter abundant wildlife.

The Zambezi River and the Kafue Flats shape much of Zambia’s Southern Province, sustaining cattle herding, maize cultivation and fishing communities. Near these coordinates, the interior is largely a warm, seasonally dry plateau of farms and open woodland. Choma, the provincial capital, is an important road and rail centre on the route between Lusaka and Livingstone. Farther southwest, Livingstone lies beside Mosi-oa-Tunya, or Victoria Falls, where the Zambezi plunges into a basalt gorge on the Zimbabwe border; the falls are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The province also has close ties to Tonga-speaking communities and cattle-rearing traditions. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Zambia’s Southern Province.

The Zambezi River defines much of Zambia — its waters support hydropower, fishing and tourism along the country’s western and southern reaches. At Livingstone, the river plunges over Victoria Falls, known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, before continuing through the Batoka Gorge. Zambia is a landlocked country of broad plateaus, woodland and major river basins, with the Kafue and Luangwa among its important waterways. Copper mining has long been central to the economy, particularly in Copperbelt Province. In the west, the Lozi people’s Kuomboka ceremony marks the seasonal move of the Litunga from a floodplain residence to higher ground.
