Itinerary

  • Day 1: Harare Airport / Mana Pools National Park

    Flight: Harare to Mana Pools [90-minute flight]

    Upon arrival in Harare, you will be met by our representative who will assist you to the light aircraft for your flight to Dandawa Airstrip in Mana Pools National Park. The name itself, 'Mana', means four in local Shona, and is a reference to the four large pools that the mighty Zambezi River carved out thousands of years ago. Today, these pools are the reason for this being such a hailed safari destination, as they attract a great amount of wildlife. You will be able to head out on an afternoon activity after settling into camp. 

    Stay: Kanga Camp (Meru Style Tet)

    Meals: Lunch, dinner, breakfast, and a selection of alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks

  • Day 2&3: Mana Pools National Park (Kanga Pan)

    Enjoy two full days exploring different inland riverbeds, pans, and open plains of the park with game drives or guided walks with your armed, professional guide, well off the beaten track. This diverse area has multiple vlei lines and mixed woodland types from Mopane woodland to Jesse bush and riverine forests. The Kanga Pan is the only permanent water source for a 15km radius and teems with wildlife, especially in the dry season, creating the perfect setting for Kanga’s famous ‘Armchair Safaris’.

    Stay: Kanga Camp (Meru Style Tent)

  • Day 4: Mana Pools National Park

    We make our way to the river’s edge to experience Mana Pools on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River.  Mana is one of the few true wildernesses in the world where you can encounter elephants, lions, and wild dogs in close proximity. Large concentrations of buffalo and elephants are regularly found along the river's edges, while predators such as lions, wild dogs, and leopards are often sighted.

    Mana Pools is also known for its abundance and enormous, beautiful trees providing shade and making it ideal for walking. Canoe trips offer a unique and memorable way to experience the area’s striking scenic beauty and diverse fauna, while guided walks are a great way to take its pristine riverside forests. Birdlife is superb, particularly for both mopane woodland and riverine species with numerous local specials like collared palm-thrush, racket-tailed roller, purple-banded sunbird, and black-throated wattle-eyes.
