About Zambezi Expeditions

Those who have visited Zimbabwe's Mana Pools will assure you that it's one of the most spellbinding places on earth. The Mana Pools National Park is a World Heritage Site known for its wildlife-rich flood plains and spectacular views of the Zambezi River. It's also an unmatched destination for game-drives, bush walks and canoeing safaris. Zambezi Expeditions - a luxury mobile camp set up alongside the floodplains of Mana Pools - brings you as close as possible to the magic. This 12-bedded camp takes 'glamping' to new heights and forms the perfect base for an adventurous wilderness retreat.

What you'll love

Nestled on the banks of the Zambezi River, this is one of the best ways to experience Mana Pools, hands down.

Insiders tip

Even if you’re not an avid fisherman, this is a fantastic opportunity to try your luck at catching a tiger fish.

Something to think about

Be sure to carry plenty of insect repellent with you, especially during the summer months of September to November.
