Discover the Beauty of Mana Pools National Park on This Zimbabwe Safari

Experience the Wildlife of This UNESCO World Heritage Site Close Up; Captivating and Mesmerizing

Kanga Expeditions offers a remarkable experience set in the remote beauty of Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its unique ecosystems and diverse wildlife. The name ‘Mana Pools’ (meaning ‘Four Pools’) originates from the Park’s four permanent watering holes, which are central to its reputation as one of the world’s top natural attractions.  Kanga Expeditions itself overlooks Kanga Pan – the sole source of water in a 12-mile radius – drawing wildlife from near and far directly to the Experience. Once here, settle down for an unforgettable journey as you become one with the wild. 

Embark on morning and afternoon game drives, along with immersive walking safaris that bring you within breathtaking proximity to animals such as wild dogs and elephants. Overlooking the picturesque Kanga Pan, this Experience features a spacious, elevated wooden deck – your front-row seat to the wonders of wildlife. By day, this tranquil spot is perfect for observing an array of animals and vibrant birdlife. At night, a spotlight casts light on the Pan (expertly controlled by your guide) revealing the exciting nocturnal activity of safari. Photography enthusiasts will love our dedicated hide, hidden beneath the deck, offers incredible opportunities to capture unforgettable wildlife moments.  

At Kanga Expeditions, barriers dissolve as only canvas and gauze separate you from the African bush. The earthy tones and textures of the Experience draw you into the heart of nature while offering a luxurious stay. The shared common area overlooking the Pan includes a relaxing lounge space and a spacious dining table, along with a fully stocked bar for your enjoyment. Enjoy refreshing dips in the plunge pool – perfect for spotting wildlife while you swim. In the evenings, unwind and share the day’s safari stories around the firepit under a canopy of glistening stars.  

Kanga Expeditions offers six luxury tents, each equipped with floor-to-ceiling mesh windows that offer beautiful views and lots of sunlight. Each luxury tent is powered by solar energy and features an outdoor shower and a private elevated veranda – ideal for enjoying the spectacular views of the Pan. Our luxury family tent features a wraparound terrace with exclusive seating and dining area – perfect for sharing meals with family. For an unforgettable romantic getaway, the luxury honeymoon tent features a rolltop bath on a private deck, providing the perfect backdrop for a magical soak beneath the stars. 

At Kanga Expeditions, feel in touch with the land and be touched by the wonders of nature.

    Beautiful Kanga Camp, perfect setting.

    We loved Kanga Camp and its unique setting. From the warm welcome by the team, to Jaison’s attention to our comfort; the excellent meals and of course our superb guide, Godwin. Everyone involved in the camp made us feel welcome. To sit on our deck at siesta and watch the many animals come to that waterhole and drink, was a real privilege, a constantly revolving door of wildlife, right in front of you.

    So close to the animals.

    I stayed for 3 nights in room 6. Biggest room at the end of the water hole. The animals like to walk past the room. It’s very large and has great views. You don’t need to leave the lodge to see animals. You can just sit on the deck of the main area and watch them at the water hole. They are so close you could almost touch them.  The staff are wonderful here and go above and beyond. The food is really good here and there’s always a choice for dinner.

    Kanga Camp is the best!!

    We arrive in the late afternoon and were just in time to be taken on a game drive with a very knowledgeable ranger. On our return we were treated to a delicious dinner under the stars with really good wine. The tents are extremely well equipped and comfortable. Joyce, the hostess, is fantastic, went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. She was also very informative about Zimbabwean culture, history and politics, a real gem. Sitting around the water hole at night we spotted a pennant winged nightjar, a highlight for us. Game viewing the next day was spectacular. Wish we could have stayed for a few more days.
