Chirundu, Zambia is a town in the Southern Province of Zambia at the border with Zimbabwe.[1] It is the site of two road bridges across the Zambezi river, the Chirundu Bridges.
The Chirundu Petrified Forest is an area of fossil trees 21 km west of Chirundu, lying just south of the Chirundu-Lusaka road near the Kariba turn-off. It is a listed National Monument of Zambia.
Chirundu was the home to the local cult leader and faith healer Emmanuel Sadiki roughly from the year 1988 to 1989.
On the Zimbabwe side the township is also called Chirundu.
