Kanga Bush Camp, Mana Pools National Park
You will be met at Mana Pools airstrip by your guide who will take you on a game drive, ending at Kanga Bush Camp where you will stay for the first three nights, exploring the inland river beds, pans and open plains of Mana Pools by game drive and guided walks with you professional armed guide.
Kanga Bush Camp has six tents set in the heart of Mana Pools National Park. The main area of the camp is on decking overlooking the pan. A relaxing lounge area under the shade of large trees overlooks the splash pool and pan. There is the choice of taking game drives in open-topped four-wheel drive vehicles or walking with professional guides. The opportunity to leave one's vehicle and track game on foot is an experience rare in the national parks of Africa and in Mana Pools in particular this provides the visitor with the chance to track game in safety with an experienced professional guide. Other activities include night drives as well as canoeing which is organised on request. Game abounds on the flood plains and in the Mopane woodlands of Mana Pools. Kanga Pan particularly attracts great game in big concentrations as it is the only water found in the floodplain above the river. The predators, including lion, wild dog and leopard are often sighted and large concentrations of buffalo can be found in the Mopane woodland and open plains studded with Ilala Palms. Kudu, zebra, impala and waterbuck can be seen on the surrounding plains. Elephant take advantage of the plentiful "albida" trees in the area. Bird watching is also a great attraction of the area.

Mana Canoeing and Walking Safari, Mana Pools National Park
After your last morning activity at Kanga Bush Camp, you will begin your two night Canoeing and Walking Safari which takes you along the length of Mana Pools National Park.
Come on the adventure of a lifetime for an experience like no other. You don't need to have done any paddling of a canoe before. Glide with us down the mighty Zambezi, one of the great rivers of Africa, on a two night waterborne safari, covering new territory every day. Each night you will end up back at Mana Tented Camp, a comfortable 12 bedded camp on the banks of the Zambezi that is set up for the season each year. Each tent is a specious meru-style tent with en-suite bathroom, flush toilet and outdoor bucket shower. In total you will probably do about 8 hours of light paddling each day in a steady current of about five kilometres an hour. The whole trip will be along the shoreline in Zimbabwe's Mana Pools National Park covering a total distance of about 50 kilometres, where you'll enjoy viewing of wildlife from a totally different perspective. There are plenty of opportunities to walk the famous floodplain of the Zambezi valley, exploring the Mana Pools wilderness areas well off the beaten track. Wildlife to be seen includes hippos, crocodiles, lions, wild dogs, leopard, hyenas, elephant, buffalo, waterbuck and many other antelope.
