Discover Mana River Camp

Mana River Camp is set on the banks of the might Zambezi River in Mana Pools National Park, offering spectacular elephant sightings. It is a mobile tented camp that is taken down at the end of each season, before the rains begin. This provides the feeling of the old, real bush, camping experience.

The Camp has 6 en-suite canvas and gauze tents, with zipped entrances. All the tents have a view of the Zambezi River, with a veranda and a folding chair. The bathrooms have flushing toilets and hot and cold showers, heated with chip boilers. The tent is powered with inverter and solar lighting system. In the main area of the camp there is an open-air dining / communal area and a fire-pit boma.

Special offer: Stay for 3 nights and only pay for 2 nights. Offer valid 01 May - June 2025. Honeymoon offer: Stay 5 nights at any Machaba Camp and the bride will receive a 50% discount on accommodation. This offer is valid until 30 December 2025.
