Mana Pools As A Safari Destination

Mana Pools As A Safari Destination… Where do I begin?

Far north in Zimbabwe, nestled within the Zambezi Valley lies a creation of nature still pure, splendid, untouched and wild yet so tranquil along the banks of the mighty Zambezi river. The abundance of wildlife, stunning natural beauty and unique opportunities for adventure out there is something that will never get old.

This incredible safari destination will offer its visitors a true wilderness experience in which all senses will be heightened as it plays host to one of the most astonishing wildlife experiences in Africa.

Imagine yourself walking on the very soil that Africa’s big game roam on. Crouching down as you approach a pride of lion. Running to keep up with wild dog on the hunt. Standing ever so still as a large bull elephant stretches up on his back legs to reach some fresh leaves.

Words will never do this justice. All I can say is that it will only truly be understood once experience. To add to that… Its more than just an experience. It is a feeling!

I always look forward to returning to this special place. August… are you here yet?!?!

During the Best Of Mana Pools safari you will get to experience all the luxuries this special place has to offer. This experience is set apart from any other and will showcase all of Mana Pools to you across eleven days. This is a unique safari experience to Mana Pools in that it offers the opportunity to explore both the wildlife-rich floodplains. Spend hours watching a continuous flow of wildlife at "the last waterhole" further inland known as Kanga Pan, as well as exploring one of the wildest place in Africa - Chitake Springs.

These three images sum up Mana Pools as a safari destination. Well, it sums up our product on offer to you.
