Spend a few quality game viewing days at a secret, sensational bush camp called Mana River Camp, deep inside the world-renowned Mana Pools National Park. Mana Pools gets its name from four large oxbow lakes that formed near the Zambezi River under huge old trees where wildlife gathers. These natural water sources attract hippos, elephants, herds of antelope, prolific birds and much more diverse wildlife than we can even mention here. It is a haven of biodiversity!

Everywhere you go in Mana Pools National Park, a waterway pops up between open grasslands, groves of charismatic mahogany trees and exquisite riverine vegetation. Bush walks from Mana River Camp are the main attraction to see all the life around this valley on foot, an incredible life-changing experience to be sure! Watch canoe safaris meander past and take your own canoe out with your pro guide to find fascinating fauna and flora along the Zambezi River banks.  

Game drives and bush walks reveal healthy herds of buffalo, elephants, some bold leopards, prides of lions and the elusive packs of African wild dogs. 

Mana River Camp closes and is dismantled when the rains are due in November and is unfenced and unobtrusive in any way on the environment. It is so tranquil and guests just fit into the way of the wilds on their arrival.
