“The Zambezi River Gave Me A New Life” ~ A Zambian Story By A Zambian Writer 💚💛💚 ~ Read the full story in our blog. Link in bio! We are excited to bring you an inspiring new voice from the Zambezi… Susan Chessy Kalota! We’ve been working with local seamstress, Mrs Aggie Kalota for some time. Many of us are wearing her dresses as you sit here reading these words… 🌟 We’ve known the great skill she has with the needle and Chitenge cloth, we’ve seen her magic weaving in our warehouse next to the Royal Chundu school. But only recently were we introduced to Mrs Kalota’s daughter, Susan Chessy Kalota. While Aggie lives permanently in the Malambo village next to us, Susan has been away, like many young people, working in the town of Livingstone. After only one conversation with her, it was clear where her future should lie… in the written word and the philosophical and romantic dreams that occupy most writers. 💦 She has found herself a rather perfect muse, close to her family home… the Zambezi River. In our latest blog, Susan shares some poignant words on what the Zambezi means to her. Link in bio 🌸🦅 Horizons of hope 🧡☀️ Captured this week on the Zambezi! Aggie has being spending some time practicing photography and with a subject like the Zambezi, there’s always magic to be found. #theroyalchunduexperience #zambia #zambezilife #thatsunset #restnestdigest “Dawn is coming Open your eyes Look into the sun as the new days rise...” ~ José González ☀️ Captured by our lovely guest @amberdiscovers. #theroyalchunduexperience #zambezilife #zambia Sunsets & Sweethearts 🧡💛🧡 Last night on the river! #homesweethome #theroyalchunduexperience #zambezilife #restnestdigest Royal Chundu Homeschool Lesson #24 💙💛💙 ~ Tips For Travel Journalling! One of our favourite lifetime passions. During this period where travel has been off-limits, our travel notebooks have let us keep travelling… and focus in on the little things or the big feelings we may have missed in the busyness of life. 🦋 Resting, nesting, digesting, we turn to the lifetime art of the travel journal to keep us grounded, to note down our hopes for the days ahead and our gratitude for the days past. Through each journal page, we travel again, while pasting down photographs, matchboxes, stamps or postcards, leaves, wildflowers, bottle tops and feathers (and other curiosities from our experiences). Writing down what we saw, felt, heard, smelt, touched and tasted, lets us return to the destination weeks, months, decades later, when something pulls us once again to focus in on the things that inspired us. So that we may be inspired once again. Life is always in flux, sometimes hurried, and change is constant, but our journals set the important moments in stone (or paper), so that they remain, forever tangible and accessible. For children, as they continue to grow up quickly and right before our eyes, these journals of their lives, collections, travels, adventures, whether far from home or right in their back yard or bedroom, are like a telephone line (one with a tin can on either side) – letting us access the little people they once were. READ OUR BLOG (Link in bio) for more ~ including our 7 Tips for Travel Journalling! 🌟 Are you a journaller? Have the journals of other writers and explorers inspired you? What are your tips for newbie journallers? Let’s keep the spirit of exploring alive! #royalchunduhomeschool #schooloflife #staycurious Dear Friends As much as we’ve been resting, nesting and digesting, we’ve also been busy creating and dreaming, filling the days with joy and hope wherever we can. We have a few special announcements and secret surprises that we wanted to tell you about ~ to share some love from the Zambezi. We will soon be sharing a project that has been very close to our hearts over the last few months. Here’s a hint: it’s said to give a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything... We’ll be releasing it for you on 1 June!

The lodge is beautiful and there is much attention to detail. We traveled with our adult daughters and all had a wonderful time. The staff was super. It was very relaxing and we even caught a tiger fish.
