Mana Pools National Park: Africa’s Wildest Safari Experience

Mana Pools National Park is unlike any other park in Africa. Find out what makes it so extraordinary, what wildlife you'll encounter and when to go.

Ask any serious safari traveller to name the one African park that changed how they think about wilderness, and a disproportionate number will say Mana Pools National Park.

Not the Serengeti, with its vast migrations and tourist infrastructure. Not the Okavango Delta, for all its water and birds. Not Kruger, which is excellent, efficient, and visited by millions. Mana Pools. A 2,196 square kilometre stretch of Zimbabwe’s far north that some people have never heard of, and that those who have visited tend to struggle to describe without sounding like they are exaggerating.
