Overview
Raw Mana
In a magnificent position at the Zambezis edge, this classic under-canvas camp will immerse you in Mana Pools’ UNESCO protected wilderness.
Six Meru-style tents are set under the shade of winter thorn and ebony trees, each tent has en suite bathroom facilities with hot bucket showers and epic views out across to Zambia where you can fall asleep to the sound of the flowing river and chuckles of hippo and wake-up with the dawn chorus to a spectacular African sunrise.
Spend days here on canoe adventures past elephants and hippos, game drives to spot big cats and walking to find find species such as African wild dogs. Return to hearty meals in the dining mess and nights by the fire sharing stories.
