Mana Pools National Park tours and safaris

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mana Pools National Park is a remote and ruggedly beautiful safari destination in Zimbabwe’s far north. It forms part of the lush Zambezi Valley along the border with Zambia where wildlife comes to refuel on the river banks. “Mana” translates from Shona as “four” in reference to the ancient oxbow lakes for which the park is renowned. 

 In addition to large numbers of elephants and hippos, Mana Pools is famed for its sightings of Nile crocodiles and predatory lions. Part of the park’s allure is the opportunity to spot wildlife during guided canoe safaris, offering a completely different perspective from game drives. More than 350 bird species have also been recorded within Mana Pools National Park, making it a mecca for twitchers.
