In the Shona language, the word ‘mana’ means ‘four’ and so it's no surprise that Mana Pools National Park earned its name (and UNESCO World Heritage Site-status) from the four iconic pools found across its wetland waterscape,...
In the Shona language, the word ‘mana’ means ‘four’ and so it's no surprise that Mana Pools National Park earned its name (and UNESCO World Heritage Site-status) from the four iconic pools found across its wetland waterscape, formed over thousands of years by the changing course of the relentless Zambezi River. Nile crocodiles and hippos glide through murky waters and the treetops are abuzz with over 350 species of birdlife. Elephant, buffalo, and more flock to the pools’ lush banks for food while big cats and hyena follow not too far behind although their secretive nature makes spotting them a game of chance.
Kanga Camp is set in one of the most remote areas of Mana Pools, promising guests utter seclusion and an intimacy that comes with only six Meru-style tents. Undeveloped and unspoilt, the area gives guests a pure, private African safari experience, with sightings of the resident lion pride and other members of the Big 5.
Zambezi Expeditions offers guests the best possible base from which to explore the game-packed flood plains and four iconic permanent pools of Mana Pools – in luxury tents right on the banks of the Zambezi. Set off on a private safari to track wildlife on foot or take a traditional game drive across the flood plains.

Legend has it the Zambezi River was once home to the Nyami Nyami, a river god with the head of a fish and body of a snake. The Nyami Nyami and people of the Zambezi Valley lived in harmony until the 1950s when construction began on Kariba Dam, separating the Nyami Nyami from his wife. Infuriated, the river god tried to force his way upstream to reunite with her and, in doing so, caused the dam to flood the valley, forming Lake Kariba. Whilte its murky waters may no longer be home to the Nyami Nyami, the equally ferocious hippo and crocodile now swim along its shoreline which forms part of the Matusadona National Park.
Lake Kariba is a place for water-lovers and wildlife explorers. Bumi Hills Safari Lodge is ideally located beside the lake and offers a range of activities, including armchair safaris, boat cruises and village trips. The abundance of Tigerfish also attracts travelling anglers to the lake.
Changa Safari Camp has one of the best settings on a private concession in Matusadona National Park with 4.5km’s of Lake Kariba shoreline. This beautifully appointed camp offers exclusivity, land and water based safari activities and guarantees an intimate experience with nature.

The imposing image of the elephant may as well be the official symbol of Hwange National Park. As home to one of the largest elephant herds in the whole of Africa, it should come as no surprise that it is also the largest (and oldest) national park in Zimbabwe. Hwange is arguably one of Africa’s very best game-viewing destinations. This massive park and its creatures can be explored on foot, on horseback, or on a game drive. Hwange’s impressive range of wildlife - lion, leopard, rhino, giraffe, buffalo, zebra, gemsbok, hyena, wild dog, and more - is mirrored by the diversity of the park’s environment.
A stone’s throw from Hwange National Park’s doorstep, Hwange Safari Lodge offers every modern-day creature comfort within its tastefully decorated rooms and main facilities. Catering for all types of guests from families to couples, this is an excellent safari stop between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
Not only is Zimbabwe’s largest wildlife haven home to an abundance of the continent’s best-loved inhabitants, but it also houses Somalisa Camp. Oozing old-world safari charm, the camp rests on a seasonal floodplain. This is an easy add-on to an itinerary taking guests between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls.
Words frequently fail to capture the grandeur of Victoria Falls, but if you were to look for an apt description, you probably wouldn’t find better than its Kololo name ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’, which roughly translates to ‘the smoke...
Words frequently fail to capture the grandeur of Victoria Falls, but if you were to look for an apt description, you probably wouldn’t find better than its Kololo name ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’, which roughly translates to ‘the smoke that thunders’.
