Mana Pools

The lower Zambezi Valley is home to the spectacular Mana Pools National Park; Zimbabwe’s second World Heritage Site. This area is teeming with wildlife especially during the months of June through to October. The park is popular for canoe trails, as well as walking safaris. It is an adventure safari destination and not for the faint-hearted.

Mana Pools is also known for its abundance and enormous beautiful trees providing shade and making it ideal for walking. The ‘pools’, for which the park is famous, provide permanent water year-round, attracting an enormous amount of wildlife, including large predator populations.

Close encounters with animals are a part of game drives, while the best way to explore this magnificent park is either on foot or by means of a canoe down the Zambezi River. The best time to visit the park is from May to October; however temperatures can be fairly high towards the latter part of October.
