Main bedroom above & below, sliding door to the veranda (side) facing Park.


Main es bathroom, with bath no shower.




Slighly smaller twin bed room at back, 2nd bathroom with shower directly outside

Outside area. Also a Weber skottel, with gas supplied. Please use charcoal for the Braai, and use the Weber when windy.


In general 8 - 15 m to the fence. Lux units have the extra heated splash pool.

I've stayed at these units. They are fantastic and I prefer them to the Bakubung units, mainly because of the lack of human traffic passing between you and the animals, and the space that is on offer at Kwa in general. What is not supplied is the standard coffee/tea sachels, and of course swimming towels that no one offers in any case. Wi-fi is available, R75 for 500Mb (2019). Just note the last 6 or so chalets on the right lies in a bit of a hollow, and wifi there is pretty bad. No problem when you move closer to the Restaurant area though. There are also free activities offered - Stargazing and a Bird & Tree trail - 4 times a week, not weekends though. And then most amazing is the live feed from the waterhole to your chalet TV's - you can make it in 3 minutes max if there is an awesome sighting. You will need to go through a long tunnel, with about 20 steps at the entrance, and a few at the hide.
