Mana Pools National Park
Unique safari experience
Far removed from any urban landscape, Mana Pools (Unesco World Heritage site ) has the special ability to transport you away from taxing modern-day living to a breathtaking and remote haven filled with birdlife, ancient trees and abundant wildlife.
Large elephant bulls balance precariously on their hind-legs as they reach seven or eight meters into the canopy of an African Albida, prides of lion stalk Cape buffalo on the open floodplain during the heat of the day and African wild dog run freely in pursuit of impala within the riverine forests.
Wildlife encounters are endless and intimate.
The park welcomes its visitors to leave the confines of their vehicles, allowing the life-changing experience of seeing Mana’s majestic wildlife on-foot.
This is a rare opportunity to encounter nature in an intimate way, face-to-face and utterly exposed. You will be stripped of all pretences, time will standstill.
In these moments you will find yourself totally vulnerable, you will discover exactly what lies beneath your fragile outer being.
In Mana Pools, the wildlife encounters don’t end once you are back at camp. Elephants will pass through the camp on a daily basis in search of seed pods produced by large Albida trees.
It is not uncommon to have lion or leopard pass through the camp at night either. This is a wilderness experience in it’s purest form.
There seems to be a magnetic quality that draws you back time and time again, a need to explore further and to experience more of what Mana has to offer.
The remoteness of the park, the sheer size and the breathtaking beauty all come together to create an idyllic African experience inequality.
