Mana Pools is the only game park in Zimbabwe to be granted World Heritage Status and is the stage for one of Africa’s greatest natural spectacles. Mana is a classic theatre of the wild, attracting hordes of animals especially during the long, hot African summer. Mana is a timeless legacy of wilderness and a unique ecosystem. Mana Pools deserves to survive unspoilt and unthreatened as it has for millennia.
Mana Pools is part of a 300 million year old rift valley supporting a large variety of mammals and over 400 bird species. Covering over 200 square kilometres this National Park has been set aside to be kept as wild as possible. All our camps are taken down as we depart to ensure minimal damage to the ecosystem.
Wildlife is abundant in the valley especially during from June through to late October. The sanctuary is home to large concentrations of elephant, and buffalo, kudu, impala, zebra, eland and other antelope species provide the lion, leopard, painted hunting dog and hyena easy pickings.
Along the river bank, where one of the greatest varieties of birdlife flourishes, hippos share their river with the silent crocodile. Distant mountains, the formidable escarpment wall of the valley, reed edged backwaters and sandbanks flank the slow-moving Zambezi. The richness of the trees and plants is the vital link in Mana’s chain of continuity.
Participate in game drives, canoeing, walking – or just relax and take in the beauty of this wilderness. Walking in the company of one of Zimbabwe’s leading Pro Guides is a unique up-close-and-personal experience. Game drives may take you away from the river, to investigate the different inland habitats and the diverse occupants that make up the ecology of the area. Walking to explore and learn about the area, with your Professional Guide is the best way to experience the incredible diversity of animals, insects and flora at Mana Pools. Your guide is fully licensed and carries a weapon and basic first aid kit at all times. Mana Pools can provide some amazing experiences, if you are looking for close encounters with game.

This is based closer to the Zimbabwean side of the Rift valley in a remote area with an amazing and permanent spring that supplies water to a large number of animals in an otherwise dry area. All through the day and night there is a steady flow of animals coming and going to Chitake Springs and of course with this comes the predators. This often makes a stay here quite action packed and our camp will be set up right on the edge of the water so there is often wildlife very close to camp. As there are very few roads here we spend most of our time walking or just sitting at a vantage point watching the activity around this very active area.

Kanga Camp is situated in a private concession within the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mana Pools National Park. Infamous for their walking safaris, guests can experience Mana Pools rich vegetation and predator sightings which includes lion and the rare and endangered wild dog. The camp itself overlooks Kanga Pan which is an essential water supply for a multitude of different wildlife and bird species during the dry season. This means that the surrounding wildlife frequently visits the pans for a leisurely drink.
Six traditional luxury canvas tents are placed on a raised wooden deck each with their own exclusive views overlooking the pan. The luxury tents are elegantly designed with subtle wooden furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling mesh netting and come with all the essential amenities.
During the rainy season, the pan overflows with water and for this reason, Kanga Camp is only open from April to December. This time period offers an ultimate safari experience. And, because the camp is situated in a private concession there are no other safari vehicles. Activities and experiences include walking safaris, morning and afternoon game drives, the famous armchair safaris in the dry season, and a photographic hide for both amateur and professional photographers to enjoy
