Located within the Sapi Concession, adjoining Mana Pools’ eastern border, this small camp is one of just two in the 118,000-hectare wilderness.
Positioned on the banks of the Zambezi River, this idyllic tented camp is ideal for exploring both on the river and on land.
Tented and intimate, this riverside camp feels as the name suggests – an expeditionary-style home for explorers. The views of the river are spectacular, whilst the surrounding area is begging to be explored on foot and by vehicle, safe in the knowledge that you’re not going to bump into anyone else.
Sapi Explorers Camp consists of just five tents. Each of these is spacious and comfortable, decorated in a traditional safari style, with heavy rugs and canvas-backed chairs. The en-suite bathroom has a flushing toilet and a bucket shower.
The camp faces the Zambezi River, which is the lifeblood of the park. It offers access to a diverse mix of landscapes, ranging from the verdant riverfront to the dusty Mtawatawa Pan.
Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.
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.
Ruckomechi Camp is on the boundary of Mana Pools National Park, which is home to an abundance of wildlife – including lion, wild dog, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, zebra, impala and elephant and a plethora of bird species. The camp has ten spacious en-suite tented units, including a honeymoon suite, all of which overlook the Zambezi River. Each tent has both indoor and outdoor showers, while the camp’s outdoor ‘bath-with-a-view’ in a secluded, scenic spot is always a favourite.
Kanga Camp is set on the most remote part of the World Heritage site Mana Pools National Park. The camp lies on the Kanga Pan the only known pan that does not dry up making is it one of the best places to be for wildlife experiences. The 12 bedded tented camp has en-suite bathroom facilities and outdoor shower and basins overlooking the water hole. There is one family tent with its own private dining and seating area.
At the heart of the vast Sapi Concession, bordering Mana National Park sits Sapi Springs Camp. Positioned beside the seasonal Sapi River, this raised camp hides beneath the canopy of countless trees, immersed in the wilderness.
