Mana Pools: Take a Journey on an Untraditional Safari

The Zambezi River begins its journey from a crack in a rock in the Congo. It passes through Zambia, over two gorges (Victoria Falls being one), through two of the world's largest dams, and into the Indian Ocean. It has long been a means of transport, carrying Monomatapa's slaves, diamonds, gems, and other riches.

Today it also serves as a means of transportation for merchants to deliver their local goods. It’s also a peaceful place for visitors to enjoy their gin and tonics during one of our luxurious canoeing safaris.
Mana Pools National Park is situated on the southern bank of the Zambezi River and encompasses 541,000 acres of unspoiled wilderness, commonly called Zimbabwe's Wildlife Riviera because of its abundant wildlife.

Mana Pools boasts one of the greatest walking safaris in Africa. It’s the only park in Zimbabwe and one of the few in Africa where you can walk among the roaming wildlife. There isn't a river in the world that offers the big game, wilderness location, and adventure that you'll find at Mana Pools. The best time to visit this park is during the months of March to early October. These months offer fantastic weather and game viewing at its best.
