Nyamatusi means “wild game”. A fitting name since this place is about as wild as it gets with an abundance of game. On the banks of the mighty Zambezi River, one of the world’s oldest river systems and set in Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It doesn’t take much to see that this place is spectacular. 

Nyamatusi Camp is an eco-conscious and exclusive camp. It embodies a sustainable design with solar power, all natural materials and blends into the surrounds. It’s low impact on the environment and high impact on awe factor. It’s stunning, both the lodge itself and the surrounds. A never ending green escarpment in the background and the river in all her glory, right there in front of you.

A turquoise door invites you in to your own secluded and private abode. A large viewing deck and plunge pool under the shade of winter thorn trees. The soft drapery not only looks luxurious but aids in keeping your tent cool echoed in the neutral palette and pale shades of grey and green. It’s lush and romantic. Crisp, modern and sleek. Classic with light wooden finishes and elegance in every respect.

The service is impeccable. The food is delicious and the staff are welcoming and ever professional hosts. Is this place even real? I guess you’ll just have to go find out for yourself. Pssst. It is real by the way, even though it’s seemingly unbelievable. We know!
