Inside the park
Safari company
Opened in 2022 on a veteran campsite, and raw in the best sense: en-suite tents with bucket showers, the river a few metres away, and the full Mana activity set. One of the more attainable ways into a serviced camp inside the park.
Why you'd pick it
- Hippos grazing below the verandah
- Walking, game drives and canoeing from one riverbank base
- Combines naturally with Machaba's Hwange camps for a two-park Zimbabwe 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.
