The team at Black Bean Productions have captured what we believe to be the heart of the Zambezi, and they have done so, most elegantly, on video, flowing like the great river itself, from our lodge on the riverbank, down to the Victoria Falls.

Discover the beating centre of all that makes life on this river so exciting and memorable, the essence of the Royal Chundu Experience – a marriage of adventure and relaxation in this remote and magical part of Africa – below. Visit our YouTube Channel for more inspiration.

Take a look at these images below for another look at Zambezi life through the lens of the Black Bean Productions team, as featured on our Instagram.

And for a closer view… #Repost @sean_viljoen ・・・ Our evening with the @blackbeanproductions and the dancers came to a close when the ladies led the procession out. Aggie, the lodge manager at @royalchundu, described Zambian dance “as a vibration”. Her explanation couldn’t have been more apt.
