The Chirundu Bridge now consists of two road bridges side by side across the Zambezi River between the small town of Chirundu, Zambia and the village of Chirundu, Zimbabwe. At this location around 65km downstream from the Kariba Dam the river is about 400 m wide. The bridges carry the Harare to Lusaka section of the Great North Road, which extends between South Africa and East Africa, and was once seen as part of a Cape to Cairo Road.
Chirundu is the only town on the Zambezi where two bridges cross the river.
The Otto Beit Bridge (1939)
The first Chirundu Bridge is the Otto Beit Bridge built in 1938-9 by Dorman Long and financed by the Beit Trust, which funded most of central and southern Africa's colonial era bridges including the Beit Bridge across the Limpopo River, the Kafue Bridge, and the Luangwa Bridge. The Otto Beit Bridge was the first modern suspension bridge outside the United States built with parallel wire cables. It has a span of 382 m (main span 320 m). As it was built two decades before the Kariba Dam, the engineers had to consider the annual Zambezi flood, now tamed by the dam: hence the requirement for a single span (which the second bridge did not need). It cost £186,000 to build and was opened on 24 May 1939 by Lady Lillian Beit, widow of Otto Beit.

Kafue river at Chirundu bridge
This is the Kafue River at the point where it crosses the bridge from Chirundu to lower Zambezi.
At this point, the Kafue river is just a few kilometres before its confluence with the Zambezi River.
TOURING CHIRUNDU BORDER POST, CHIRUNDU BRIDGE🇿🇲, CHIRUNDU VILLAGE 🇿🇼, CLUBS AND NIGHT Food MARKET
Chirundu Border Post is situated on the banks of the Zambezi River bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe about 140 kilometres south east of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.
The increased mining and other economic activities in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo led to the increase in traffic and congestion at Chirundu. This resulted in increased transportation costs arising from the delay in clearing consignments at the border. Hence, in order to reduce these costs and speed up traffic, reforms in the area of trade facilitation were initiated. One of the reform initiatives was the establishment of a one stop border post at Chirundu. Since its implementation there have some positive developments.🦋🧸🦋🤎🦋🧸

Big thanks to Benjamin Mavros and Justine De La Rue for hosting us for an amazing dinner at their house in Harare. They have a very unique collection of pets including a rescued baby Zebra and a duck that thinks its a dog! The jewelry shown at the beginning of the video is from the very talented Patrick Mavros https://www.patrickmavros.com. His jewelry is sold all over the world and some of his clients include celebrities and royals such as Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge.
Huge thanks to Valerie Caldecott who hosted our group during our stay in Harare and to the Mountain Club of Zimbabwe for taking us rock climbing.
On our way to Chirundu we stopped at the famous Chinoyi Caves with their bright turquoise water. The caves are very popular with local divers and apparently the bottom of the caves has yet to be discovered.
The distance between Harare and Chirundu is approximately 360 kilometres. As seen in the video, we were stopped multiple times by police searching for anything to fine us for. There is a comprehensive list of items that must be carried in vehicles in Zimbabwe including fire extinguishers and safety vests. The police officers are notoriously corrupt and have recently become very aggressive. Make sure you have everything required so that they have no means to fine you - although they will most likely make something up! This stretch of road is incredibly dangerous given the large number of trucks travelling to and from the border with Zambia.
Chirundu is a small border town located along the Zambezi River just before the bridge over to Zambia. Apparently, Chirundu has one of the highest concentrations of HIV in the world. Luckily we stayed at a friends fishing lodge out of town and along the Zambezi River. Big thanks to the MacMillan family for having us and to the "Foot Soldiers" for making this one of the highlights of our 5 week tour across Southern Africa.
During our time in Chirundu we spent our days travelling up river by boat and finding sandbanks where we would play games and cook lunch. The water is heavily populated with hippo's and crocodiles... We do not recommend swimming in these waters!
As seen towards the end of the video, we were very close to a pod of hippos while we sunbathed in ankle high water and took refuge during a storm.
This is one of my (Scuba) personal favourite places in the world. Catching a Tiger Fish is an exhilarating experience and worth every hour spent in the sun drifting down the river.
