Inside the park
Safari company
The inland counterpoint to the river camps: park yourself at Kanga Pan and let the dry season do the work. The classic itinerary pairs three nights here with three on the Zambezi, which covers both of Mana's personalities in one trip.

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.

Enquire. Rates unpublished. Formerly marketed as Kanga Camp; same property.
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.
Questions about Kanga Expeditions
Is Kanga Expeditions good for families?
Yes, within limits: the minimum age is 12, confirmed on the camp's own site, and there is a dedicated family tent with a wraparound terrace for shared meals. It takes up to twelve guests in total, across six tents plus the family tent.
Is Kanga Expeditions good for a honeymoon?
Yes. The honeymoon tent has a roll-top bath on a private deck, and every tent is solar powered with an outdoor shower and a private elevated veranda, confirmed on the camp's own site. The pan below draws elephant and other game past camp for much of the day.
How do you get to Kanga Expeditions?
Fly to the Dandawa airstrip, about twenty minutes from camp. Kanga sits inland near its own pan rather than on the Zambezi, which is why the classic itinerary pairs three nights here with three on the river to cover both sides of the park.
When is Kanga Expeditions open?
It runs April to October, confirmed in the record, a shorter season than the river camps since it depends on the dry season to draw game to the pan. Rates are not published; contact African Bush Camps at contact@africanbushcamps.com for a current quote.
