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, and birding expeditions. What really stands out here, though, are the walking safaris, offering a rare chance to track and observe African wild dogs on foot. After a day filled with safari adventures and close-up wildlife encounters, there’s no better way to unwind than watching the sun set over the mighty Zambezi River.
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 fire pit, 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 ambiance, 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.
Emerald Season (December – April) transforms the landscape into a lush, green paradise. With wildflowers in bloom, full water sources, and an abundance of newborn wildlife, it’s ‘baby season’ in the bush. As the rains fade, Diamond Season (May – September) takes over with cooler temperatures, crystal-clear skies, and ideal conditions for walking safaris and stargazing. By October and November, Amber Season sets the stage for high drama: intense heat, drying waterholes, and some of the year’s most thrilling predator-prey action in Mana Pools National Park.
Nyamatusi Camp is the perfect introduction to safari for those seeking authenticity over crowds. The Experience combines refined luxury with a profound connection to nature while offering expert guiding, warm hospitality, and bespoke safari experiences. Alternatively, consider our Experiences in Botswana for a first-time safari.
Pack lightweight, breathable clothing in neutral tones, along with a wide-brimmed hat, comfortable walking shoes, and swimwear. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a camera are a must. During the cooler months of Diamond Season, bring warm layers for early morning game drives and evenings around the fire.
Our 1st camp with African Bush Camps was Nyamnatusi Camp and it did not disappoint.
The accommodations were very nice. The food was excellent and the staff beyond gracious.
Our guide, “November, November” was top notch.
Wow – What a fantastic base to experience Mana Pools National Park.
Tents were 5 star luxury, food and service was out of this world and the staff were friendly and so helpful. 3 days we will never forget.
We will be back.
If you think luxury and comfort have to be left behind to be close to animals, you are wrong. This camp had everything we needed plus close ups of the beautiful animals of Africa – both in and around the camp and on spectacular game drives with knowledgeable guides.
Our room was beautiful and right there in the midst of wild Africa- one morning we sat outside our tent and watched the herd of impala surrounding us.
The staff is caring, warm and welcoming. The whole experience was uplifting!
Can’t say enough good things about our experience with African Bush Camps.

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.
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.
Mola rural district (village) is located parallel to the Bumi wildlife area and is roughly a 1.5-hour drive from our Bumi Hills Safari lodge in Kariba Zimbabwe. The Mola community is a population of 10,000 people which makes up about 2000 households. The community has poor road infrastructure, no network, electricity or running water.
