Mid-range
Outside the gate
Owner/family-run
Elevated rooms and a main deck above a pumped waterhole, with a short walk down to a hide that photographers rave about. Because Kavinga sits on a private concession outside the park boundary it can run night drives, and its own airstrip gives it the fastest medevac access in the area.
Why you'd pick it
- A water-level hide puts you at eye level with drinking elephant and wallowing buffalo
- Night drives are permitted here, on its private concession
- The longest season in the region, 1 April to 10 December
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.

Very few Mana Pools camps publish rates, so treat all dollar figures as indicative and confirm with the lodge.

Private camp bands reflect operator and agent data gathered July 2026; check whether park fees are included when you compare.
