Mana Pools National Park

Inside Mana Pools

Mana Pools is a remote riverine park where wildlife, water, and open space combine to create one of Africa’s most immersive safari experiences.

Set along the Zambezi River in northern Zimbabwe, the park is defined by floodplains, forests, permanent pools, and freedom of movement, allowing walking, canoeing, and quiet observation without fences, crowds, or fixed viewing routines.

On our first African Safari, I booked our Zimbabwe portion through Where To Africa Experiences - this was one of the best decisions I made on the entire trip.

I took 13 people to Victoria Falls for 3 nights and had a trip with Where To Africa. They made everything very easy, and the payment process was straightforward.
