Each of Nxabega's large Meru-style tented chalets is built on a raised wooden platform and has a small veranda, where two director's chairs and a table overlook the permanent floodplain. A wooden door replaces the usual zipped entrance.

The chalet interiors are pretty spacious with wall-to-wall sisal matting. A king-size bed, covered with white linen, down duvets and pillows, makes an enticing centrepiece. Furnishing each room are a tall, slender chest of drawers and a luggage rack. A selection of nibbles – biltong, marshmallows and peanuts – sits on a wooden writing table with a mirror; there are water jugs and glasses on the bedside tables, and there's also a small coolbox. A bird and animal checklist and torch are supplied, as is an emergency 'hooter'. Each chalet has plug points for charging batteries, plus a few basic adaptors.
