Trust us to find you the rarest animals, the most spectacular wildlife events, the remotest landscapes and deeply meaningful cultural encounters!
Mana Pools encompasses 22,000km2 (220,000 hectares) and includes some of the best places for walking safaris in Africa. There are few roads in this landscape of riverine forest, floodplains, and mixed woodland, plus the many islands, channels, and sandbanks on the Zambezi River. Mana is a spectacular walking safari experience where close encounters with elephants, lions, and wild dogs are a regular occurrence.
Away from the river, at the foot of the escarpment is Chitake Springs - a remote and truly wild safari experience. Surrounding Mana Pools are further protected areas that in total amount to almost 1,7m hectares of unfenced wilderness.
Mana means "four" in the local Shona language and refers to four permanent pools that are a mecca for wildlife viewing.
The park supports good populations of wild dogs, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and spotted hyenas, but there is also the possibility of a rare glimpse of the shy brown hyenas.
You can get up close to big elephant bulls on foot or even follow African wild dogs on the hunt. Enjoy a slow game drive or take a canoe or boat to see huge pods of hippos, along with more than 380 bird species on offer.

Why choose us to craft your safari?
Handcrafted experiential safaris since 1991.
Travel in Africa is about knowing when and where to go, and with whom. A few weeks too early/late or a few kilometres off course, and you could miss the greatest show on Earth. And wouldn’t that be a pity?
Trust & Safety
Client safari payments remain in a third-party TRUST ACCOUNT until they return from safari - protecting them in the unlikely event of a financial setback on our part.
