Mana Pools captures all the charm of authentic Africa, where time flows gently to the rhythm of the Zambezi.

A gem of southern Africa, Mana Pools National Park lies along the banks of the Zambezi River.
On the opposite bank, to the north, lies Zambia and the Lower Zambezi National Park.
Mana Pools covers 2,800 km² and is arguably the most captivating park in southern Africa, provided you take the time to look around and observe its wildlife and vegetation.

A truly wild and seldom-visited environment, it is the ideal setting for walking safaris with experienced guides, as well as canoe trips on the river (offered only by certain lodges) and 4x4 game drives.

This is arguably the best place in Zimbabwe – if not in southern Africa – to spot the very rare African wild dog.
This off-the-beaten-track region offers breathtaking landscapes, and the beauty of the wildlife along the riverbanks makes it the most remarkable park in southern Africa.
