Mana Pools

‘Heaven on earth, as I like to call it. This is one of the most fruitful and glorious safari destinations I have come across’

Highlights:
  • Mana meaning ‘four’ alludes to the four major pools that make up this area along the lower Zambezi River.
  • A haven to crocodiles, elephant and hippos. The boat cruises are phenomenal for game-viewing.
  • One of the most remote and beautiful corners of Africa, a true World Heritage Site.
  • The views from the banks, out across the Zambezi River and onto the looming Zambian escarpment are breathtaking.
  • Catch & release fishing is available, most popular for one of the famous Tiger Fish.
