The six regular chalet rooms are found in three separate buildings. Each chalet building has a downstairs double room with en suite bathroom and an upstairs twin or triple room with their own private bathroom just downstairs. Each chalet room is completely separate to any of the other rooms; the name chalet has confused more than a few people (it’s a weird safari habit!). However, they are separate buildings with two rooms in each building, the downstairs room being a double room with en suite bathroom and gauzed verandah all downstairs, the upstairs room being a twin or triple room with bathroom and gauzed verandah downstairs from the bedroom.

We have eight en suite chalet rooms split into four chalets. Three of these have a downstairs double room surrounded by a gauzed veranda and an upstairs twin room with a high thatched roof and views of the river. Both rooms have a day bed which can be converted into an extra single bed when needed.

Electric fans cool our rooms and large mosquito nets surround our beds. We are on mains electricity and have a standby generator for emergencies.

The family chalet has three bedrooms in total. The two downstairs bedrooms are both en suite; one room has a double bed and a single bed, the other has three single beds, all with large mosquito nets. There is a kitchen area between the two bedrooms with a spiral staircase leading up to the “loft room”, sitting area and upstairs viewing deck. The viewing deck looks out towards the Luangwa River, and while it is not ideal for very small children, it is a wonderful place to relax and watch the sun set. The loft room has two more single beds but has no en suite bathroom. People sleeping here would need to share the bathrooms downstairs.

All our rooms are cleaned each day by “the ladies” Ellyzed and Judy, who will also put your mosquito net down in the late afternoon whilst you’re out on a night drive. Laundry is done daily and for those who are keen to cook for themselves, each chalet room shares a kitchenette with a hob/oven, microwave, kettle and fridge-freezer.

The chalet rooms normally sleep 16 guests, but with the option of extra beds and triple rooms we are flexible enough to be able to take up to 22, if part of a group.
