Rooms & Accommodation

• 7 individually designed chalets in total, The chalets are located far enough apart to provide privacy. Each one is designed differently with their own unique characteristics. Some are built around rocks and trees surrounding the chalet
• The central feature in each chalet is the enormous, sturdy 4-poster bed, made of old tree trunks and covered in a beautifully crafted white mosquito net
• Each chalet has its own en-suite bathroom which has been cleverly designed so that you can bathe outside under the tree canopy in complete privacy. All of the bathrooms have showers hung from overhanging branches with hot and cold running water. A few of them have bathtubs so that guests can lie back and relax as the sun goes down around them
• Out in front of the chalets is a veranda covered with a thatched roof to shade guests from the midday sun. Guests can either sit in the comfortable arm chairs or swing gently in a hammock reading a book or taking a siesta

Dining at the Nkwichi Lodge

• Meals are an important part of everyday life at Nkwichi. No 2 meals are ever the same with the chef’s delicious range of recipes and the numerous locations where guests can dine for different meals during the day.
• The Lakeshore Deck is a popular place to have breakfast each morning, sitting under the shade of the enormous fig tree eating fresh mangos and homemade muesli whilst gazing out across the blue water.
• Dinner is a moveable feast. The staff will make a point of asking each guest whether they would like to eat with everyone else in the lodge or prefer to dine with a companion or as a private party. There are a number of locations for dinner. One of the guest’s favourite spots is down on the beach beside the lake under the stars. Alternatively dinner can be served at people’s chalets or on the lakeshore deck. Try a new place each evening.
• Nkwichi has one of Africa’s most impressive ‘kitchen gardens’. The Manda Wilderness Horticultural Project on the neighbouring farm is run by the Manda Wilderness Conservation Project. Local farmers have learnt how to grow fresh fruit, vegetables and other food to supply the lodge with delicious produce each day. The lodge chefs use their imagination and skills to provide a mixture of western recipes along with more traditional African food
