Where the Wild Intertwines with Timeless Luxury on the Zambezi River 

One of our Signature Experiences, Nyamatusi Camp is nestled within Mana Pools National Park – a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Zambezi River. 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 most breathtaking splendors and top wildlife attractions.  As you relax in the comfort of your luxury tented suite or explore this mighty destination on foot, experience the wild intertwining with timeless luxury.  

Activities at Nyamatusi Camp include game drives, fishing excursions on the Zambezi River, canoeing safaris, walking safaris, and birding expeditions. After a day of safari activities and wildlife interactions, there’s no better way to unwind than to witness the magnificent sunset over the Zambezi.  

The Camp’s sophisticated design and elegant architecture beautifully blend with the rugged landscape of the Zambezi. Designed with sustainability in mind, Nyamatusi Camp is powered entirely by solar energy and built from organic resources, including thatch and indigenous materials. It features handwoven lighting fixtures and furniture, highlighting the craftsmanship of local artisans and enhancing the eco-conscious status. A cozy wine cellar, an ambient firepit, a stylish bar, and a shared plunge pool create the perfect setting for unforgettable moments among the African wild. 

Nyamatusi Camp’s six luxury tented suites are each equipped with air conditioning, an indoor and outdoor shower, a mini bar, a viewing deck with outdoor seating, and a private plunge pool. The suites are adorned with soft drapery, ensuring a serene and elegant ambience, and all boast uninterrupted views of the majestic Zambezi River.  

At Nyamatusi Camp, discover luxury in the wild on a classic safari: personal and refined.

    Memories for a lifetime.

    African Bush Camp’s Nyamatusi Camp was the highlight of a fantastic trip! The accommodations, location and food were surpassed only by the incredible staff. The service was top notch. Fillimon did an excellent job caring for my well-stocked and perfectly kept room. The entire serving staff were so professional while also being willing to share information about life in Zimbabwe. The attention to every detail was a real treat.

    Outstanding!

    Dreamy experience in Mana pools! The lodge is located in a breathtaking landscape, directly on the Zambezi River, with a mountain range in the background. The game drives are through the bush, you can see the mana pools, you drive through steppe, along the riverbank. There’s an incredible wealth of animals that game drives absolutely impressive! The lodge is very luxurious, we have been well and above all touchingly cared for.
    We had a dream holiday, many thanks to the team but especially to Sekela (management) and to our top guide Tivi.

Our Foundation Projects

Mambanje Community Garden

Food security and access to healthy food and produce are major challenges faced by communities surrounding our camps. The Mambanje community is located near the Hwange National Park border. This community has about 160 households in the community. The scarcity of food in this community has a massive impact on the livelihoods of the communities with many struggling to feed their families.

Mana Ranger Anti-poaching Unit

Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park is one of Southern Africa’s most remote and idyllic wildlife destinations. It is an acclaimed UNESCO world heritage site. Being so remote and secluded on two countries’ borders makes it an attractive target for wildlife poaching.
