Inside the park
Owner/family-run
Bushlife's answer to the hardest question in the park: how to do Chitake Springs without hauling your own water and nerve. The tents move inland from Little Vundu, the guiding stays, and the spring provides the theatre.
Why you'd pick it
- Walking with a professional guide is the only activity, by design
- Buffalo herds and their predators at the only water for miles
- True wilderness camping with exceptional photography
What's here
- Wi-Fi
- Solar or 24h power
Arranged from the lodge:
- Boat trips
- Guided walks
Read from Chitake Mobile Camp's own website in July 2026. Anything not listed we could not confirm, which is not the same as it being absent.
What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Mana Pools National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryVAT and the tourism levy are included.
- $24per person, per day
- VehicleForeign-registered vehicle, if you are staying inside.
- $3per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $153 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The full fee schedule for Mana Pools National ParkRates
Enquire. Set up on request for small groups, using the Little Vundu tents moved inland.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Very few Mana Pools camps publish rates, so treat all dollar figures as indicative and confirm with the lodge. ZimParks accommodation is priced per site or unit, not per person, from the February 2026 tariff. Private camp bands reflect operator and agent data gathered July 2026; check whether park fees are included when you compare.
