Sapi Explorers Camp

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

John’s Camp £££££

  • Zimbabwe
  • Safari and Wildlife Lodge

Located within Mana Pools National Park, this small tented camp is positioned on the banks of the Zambezi. From underneath the canopies of gnarled mahogany and trichelia trees, it looks out over the meandering, sandbank-dotted river, towards Zambia. A seasonal, semi-permanent setup, John’s Camp only operates during the drier months, between April and November. It is made up of just five canvas Meru-style tents, each one with an en-suite bathroom containing a shower and flushing toilet. Inside, the tents can be set up as doubles or twins, whilst outside, each has a small veranda that faces the river.
