Safaris in Mana Pools National Park

These tours operate in the World Heritage site of Mana Pools National Park where the mighty Zambezi River provides the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Mana Pools National Park is a flood plain area in the Zambezi Valley where an abundance of African game can be found. The river flows gently through this area, providing small channels of water ideal for canoeists to view game and birds at close range.we offer specialised canoe and walking trips for small groups of guests to get as close to game and birds as possible, undisturbed in their natural habitat. Canoeing is downstream, leisurely, with approximately 10-15 kilometers covered during the day. Mana Pools National Park is only accessible during the dry season, starting April and ending November. A limited number of visitors are allowed in the Park. May, June and July are excellent months for birding and have cooler temperatures, ranging from 8 degrees at night to 22 degrees Celsius at midday. August through November are best for game viewing and temperatures range from 14 degrees Celsius at night to 35 degrees at midday. October provides extremely good game viewing, particularly along the shoreline, but midday temperatures may reach 35 degrees Celsius.

Mana pools is accessible by light aircraft charter from the capital city Harare (flight time 1.5 hrs) or nearest town Kariba (flight time 35 minutes). Road access in 4 x 4 vehicles takes approximately six hours from Harare and three from Kariba
