The Mantis Collection has announced that Royal Chundu was named Zambia’s Leading Luxury Lodge at the 2011 World Travel Awards.

Royal Chundu boasts two luxurious lodges situated on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River on a piece of untamed African earth with rapids shielding it up and downstream, and overlooking the imposing private watercourse and surrounding bush land. This is the perfect location to enjoy an abundance of activities for the adventurous traveler—trips to visit Victoria Falls, elephant-back safaris, bungee jumping, abseiling and visits to Chobe National Park to view the Big 5. To take a break from all of the excitement, Royal Chundu offers lunch and dinner cruises on the river, island or bush braai (barbeque) and beautiful spa facilities to rejuvenate and renew yourself for the next day’s activities.

Adrian Gardiner, CEO of the Mantis Group says, “It is an honor to have The Mantis Collection and its properties recognized once again at World Travel Awards. We look forward to living up to the recognition at all of our award-winning locations.”

Established 18 years ago, The World Travel Awards are committed to raising the standards of customer service and overall business performance throughout the international industry.

“Because of its global reach and reputation, World Travel Awards is unique and regularly referred to as the ‘Oscars’ of travel and tourism,” said Cooke. “This means that consumers are increasingly using our portfolio of winners as a reliable and independent guide when booking their travel.”
