African Bush Camps offer a fantastic Zambezi River and Mana Pools National Park experience through their mobile tented camp Zambezi Expeditions (formerly named Zambezi Lifestyles).
The camp is set up before guests arrive in a favourite camping spot high on the bank of the mighty Zambezi River in Northern Zimbabwe. The camp is open from May to the end of October, the dry season in this area of the country, and over this period offers guests an authentic and exclusive safari experience in an unparalleled location.
Mana Pools National Park is a legendary national park high up on the list for all avid safari goers. The park itself is located in Northern Zimbabwe on the Lower Zambezi below Lake Kariba. The park itself is well known for its game rich flood plains and magnificent views of the river and the Zambezi escarpment, over the border in Zambia. This is one of the best places to walk on the continent and is a go to location for world class tiger-fishing and canoeing safaris.
There is a minimum stay of 3 nights for a minimum of 2 people. 2 night stays can be requested for larger groups of a minimum of 10 people.
When to visit
A morning walking out from camp, stopping for brunch in the bush, a siesta by the river, followed by an afternoon game drive to pick up canoes and finally a short paddle out to a mid-stream sandbank, as the sun sets over the Zambezi escarpment. What better way to spend a day on safari.
To start planning your holiday Plan your trip
On the bank of the Lower Zambezi River, downstream from Lake Kariba in Northern Zimbabwe.
The easiest way to get to Mana Pools is by air, flying in to Mana Pools Airstrip. When organised in combination with Kanga Camp it is possible to use the Kanga airstrip and transfer from there down to the river. It is possible to drive from Harare and Lusaka, approximately 5 hours.
Canoeing on the Zambezi
Join an experienced and qualified river-guide for a canoe safari on the Zambezi River, this is a fantastic way to experience the northern safari areas of Zimbabwe and get a feel for the power of the Zambezi.
Fishing in Zimbabwe
Visitors travel from across the globe to Northern Zimbabwe to try their hand at catching one of the most iconic of fresh water game fish: the Tiger Fish. Ten-pound plus tigers are a common catch on the waters of Kariba and the wider Zambezi.
Walking Safari
Zimbabwe is one of the best places in Africa to experience walking in the bush. The guides are of the highest quality, the game is fantastic and the different environments, throughout the country, are well suited for exploring on foot.
