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’.
