Nkwali is a small camp, consisting of just six chalets built from woven bamboo with stone floors and thatched roofs, set in an area of ebony woodland and open grassland that is superb for wildlife viewing.
Located on private land just outside South Luangwa National Park, the camp's chalets are spacious, with an en suite open air bathroom. Accommodating up to 14 guests, Nkwali offers one double chalet, four twins and a family/honeymoon suite. All chalets have views of the river.
The bar area is constructed around a huge ebony tree with fantastic views across the river to the park. The dining room is a simple thatched structure beside the lagoon, however meals are more frequently served under the trees by the lagoon or the river, on the deck, or even in the bush. The camp has a swimming pool, which elephants and other wildlife may occasionally visit for a drink!
