Built with sandbag walls and canvas, these rooms feature no windows—only the gentle breeze of the Zambezi and the sounds of the night. Each chalet includes en-suite bathrooms with hot-water “donkey boilers,” comfortable king or twin beds, and private verandas that look directly onto the river. Zambezi..
