5 King or Twin chalets with views of the Zambezi River
Our chalets have been uniquely designed – from sandbag walls to canvas chalets, our roll down blinds and flowy curtains, the chalets are designed to be cooled by the Zambezi breezes. Hot water bottles and thick blankets are provided for the cold nights in June and July whilst the airy nature of the rooms keeps things cool in the warmer months. We provide bedside lamps and charging points through our solar system and donkey boilers provide your chalets with hot water.
