Luxury Holidays to Mana Pools

A luxury holiday to Mana Pools showcases one of the most untouched natural areas in Africa. Its conservation is one of Zimbabwe’s greatest points of pride. If you’re looking for wildlife in its most natural setting, Mana Pools is a must-see.

The Best of Mana Pools

In the native language of Shona, Mana means ‘four,’ which refers to the four lakes that exist year-round and are the permanent watering holes for all the species. The expansive 2,500 square kilometres of riverbanks, flatlands, and forestry morph in size depending on the time of year.

The area's rains inundate it, and the fertile grounds explain why it is such a hub for all creatures and natural life—the plains are never arid. It has a unique ecosphere and cycle of life that inspires conservationists worldwide.

Visitors flock to Mana Pools just like the animals themselves do. During the wetter months, expect to see the largest congregation of hippopotamuses, crocodiles, and aquatic birds. During the dry season, when water is scarce, larger mammals like elephants and water buffalo roam the lands. It is for good reason a UNESCO-protected area, and Zimbabwe has made great improvements in protecting the habitat.

Mana Pools is complete with exceptional luxury accommodation, ranging from total rustic and minimal to higher-end safari-style lodging.
