Activities

Canoeing – using extremely stable 18ft 6in Canadian-style canoes fitted with comfortable bucket seats, seat cushions and optional lifejackets, you will surely enjoy a unique experience as you drift silently on the current, enjoying the spectacular scenery and approaching wildlife up-close and in total silence. No previous canoeing experience is necessary – just an adventurous spirit and a dose of enthusiasm.

Walking – early mornings are the best time to set out from camp on foot, when the animal spoor is still fresh from the activities of the night before. Your senses come alive as you hear every sound and become aware of every movement. Test the wind as you approach some of Africa's big game for that close-up encounter - and share in the knowledge and experience of our
qualified Professional Guides.

Game-drives – using an open 4 x 4 vehicle you are able to explore the many pools and more distant areas of the Park away from the river.

THE MOBILE TENTED CAMPS

Each day our mobile tented camps are erected in a different location along the Zambezi, complete with bush kitchen, hot-water bucket showers and mobile flush toilet. Each location has its own charm and enjoys lovely views across the river.

With spacious walk-in tents, comfortable camp stretchers, mattress, sheets and blankets, bedside light, drinking water, wash basin and mirror, bath and hand towels - you will find your every comfort has been provided for.

After a full day on the river you are welcomed into camp with cold drinks, teas and coffees and a hot bush shower. Sit around the warming camp fire and enjoy the company of your fellow travelers as you begin to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the approaching African night. Dinner is announced with a cheerful smile from your attendant waiter and you will
enjoy the sheer splendor of dining out under the African sky. With wine flowing and many a tale being told ....

"… a canoe safari along Mana Pools National Park is the highlight for almost everyone who does a canoe trip as part of their safari." - Mark W. Nolting - Africa's Top Wildlife Countries
