Each of the luxury tents have a indoor and outdoor shower and a outdoor tub,a bath-with-a-view in a secluded scenic area.

Mana Pools

Mana Pools National Park lies at the heart of the Zambezi Valley.The Zambezi River flows for  about 300km to the Mozambican border.

Mana Pools is a remote,scenically beautiful place, with incredible views of the river, as well as the floodplain area, the tree canopy and the mountains of the famous Rift Valley,in the distance, looking into Zambia.

This part of the Zambezi River is famous for its four main pools.The Park is named after these pools  ie ‘mana’ means ‘four’ in Shonna.They are remnants of part of the river which stopped flowing years ago.

These and other seasonal pools, hold water all year round, which is the draw for the wildlife.

The plentiful ana trees that characterize the floodplain area,drop their protein-rich pods during the dry season,which provides vital nutritional elements for many species,and in particular for the elephant.

Wildlife viewing is very, very, good,with large concentrations of buffalo, elephant, and this area has all the main predators ie lion, wild dog, leopard and cheetah are often sighted.

Rukomechi Camp Zimbabwe Safari

Here is a description of this camp from a client of mine from May 2013 from New York, USA:
I absolutely loved Mana Pools! From the tent camp to game safaris & staff to the food. Chobe was absolutely fantastic too, don’t get me wrong, but Mana was my fav of the 2. Definitely contrasting landscapes betw the two & Mana was more remote (in the bush) vs Chobe that felt more like a truer “enclosed” national park like national parks we have in the states (sans the elephants etc etc).

I have lots more to tell & about 900 photos to upload! But catching up on work & work emails today so I’ll fill you in w/more later this week or over the weekend. And when I narrow down my photos i’ll send you a link to view them.

Got to see 4 of the big five (no rhino) & tons more: hyena, pack of wild dogs (chasing impala & them getting chased by male elephant protecting a baby nearby), black backed jackal eating a freshly caught hare, few female adult lions (one resting after have just eaten half an impala) & 3 lion cubs, leopard, zebra, mongoose, tons of elephant & giraffe & hippo, croc, baboons, monkeys, iguana, impala, water buck, sable, genet, warthog, amazing landscapes & sunsets & full moon & the list goes on.
