Chirundu is a village and border post in
Zimbabwe on the border with
Zambia, in
Mashonaland West province. The name Chirundu means "people following one another in a line or queue" probably referring to the crossing of the Zambezi river by bridge at Chirundu. The village is located on the banks of the
Zambezi river, and as a result it lies in the hot Zambezi Valley. It is the site of the
Chirundu Bridges, two of only five road or rail
bridges across the
Zambezi river.
