MANA POOLS, ZIMBABWE
A World Heritage Site, Mana Pools on the southern bank of the Zambezi River is one of southern Africa's top walking safari destinations. Mana Pools is the only game park in Zimbabwe home to predators and the larger mammals in which visitors are allowed to walk unaccompanied - this is of course done at your own risk.
ABOUT MANA POOLS
Mana Pools
Mana Pools is an unspoiled, remote Park in the Zambezi Valley, a subtropical region which extends over 2,196 square kilometres. From the river the terrain rises up to the Zambezi Plateau. The vegetation varies from open grasslands and mixed woodlands with mopane and acacia dominant, although giant winter-thorns, huge fig and sausage trees and some riverine species are also present.
Walking is allowed (at visitor’s own risk) and can be exhilarating and rewarding, if caution is taken. Avoiding potentially dangerous animals, dense thickets and tall grasslands is advised.
Zimbabwe is home to three World Heritage Sites – Victoria Falls, the Great Zimbabwe Ruins and the Khame Ruins as well as featuring some magnificent National Parks including Hwange and Matobo Hills, not to mention boasting one of the largest man-made lakes in the world, Lake Kariba.
Commanding an impressive panoramic vista from a small hill three kilometres (1.8 miles) upstream from the mighty Victoria Falls stands Elephant Hills Inter-Continental.
The Hide is one of the few camps to be situated inside Hwange National Park. Unlike most other camps in Zimbabwe, no long drives are necessary to reach the park. In fact, the one and a half hour drive from Hwange Airport to the camp takes you on an enjoyable trip through the National Park, serving as an introductory game drive and guests’ first taste of a Zimbabwean safari.
The Stanley and Livingstone Hotel was named after Henry Stanley and the legendary explorer David Livingstone whose names are synonymous with Victoria Falls.
