The 6 en-suite chalets are made of thatch and woven bamboo and are cool and spacious, each with an excellent view onto the Luangwa River. The attached bathrooms are partially open to the sky and to shower in the moonlight is a luxurious experience.

The magnificent bar, on the banks of the river, has been built around a massive ebony tree. From the bar, the sunsets are spectacular and are frequently accompanied by a large herd of elephant crossing the river.

The dining room overlooks a lagoon where many of the resident animals drink during the day.

Nkwali is surrounded by thickets and wooded glades which provide cover for many birds, including some very unusual species. The area is famous for leopard and giraffe sightings.

Activities here include day and night game drives and walking safaris.
