Kanga Expeditions, Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe
A Tented Camp in Zimbabwe
Camp Details
Kanga Expeditions offers a remarkable experience set in the remote beauty of Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its unique ecosystems and diverse wildlife. The name ‘Mana Pools’ (meaning ‘Four Pools’) originates from the Park’s four permanent watering holes, which are central to its reputation as one of the world’s top natural attractions. Kanga Expeditions itself overlooks Kanga Pan – the sole source of water in a 12-mile radius – drawing wildlife from near and far directly to the Experience. Once here, settle down for an unforgettable journey as you become one with the wild.
Embark on morning and afternoon game drives, along with immersive walking safaris that bring you within breathtaking proximity to animals such as wild dogs and elephants. Overlooking the picturesque Kanga Pan, this Experience features a spacious, elevated wooden deck – your front-row seat to the wonders of wildlife. By day, this tranquil spot is perfect for observing an array of animals and vibrant birdlife. At night, a spotlight casts light on the Pan (expertly controlled by your guide) revealing the exciting nocturnal activity of safari. Photography enthusiasts will love our dedicated hide, hidden beneath the deck, offers incredible opportunities to capture unforgettable wildlife moments.
WHY CHOOSE KANGA EXPEDITIONS?
- Kanga Pan itself is the only known water source in the area available throughout the year, making it a hub for wildlife and a delight to explore on foot
- Kanga works well in collaboration with Zambezi Expeditions to provide guests with an overall view of the inland and riverside experiences available in Mana Pools, one of the last remaining “untouched” wilderness paradises
Questions about Kanga Expeditions
Why does so much game come to this particular spot?
The camp overlooks Kanga Pan, the only known water source within a 12-mile radius and the only one available all year, which draws animals in from a long way off. Morning and afternoon walking safaris bring you close to wild dog and elephant, with game drives running alongside.
Is there good photography from camp itself?
A dedicated hide sits beneath the elevated wooden deck, giving low, close angles onto the pan. From the deck itself you can watch through the day, and after dark your guide operates a spotlight over the water, so the nocturnal traffic at the pan becomes part of the evening.
Does it pair well with another camp in Mana Pools?
It does. Kanga works in combination with Zambezi Expeditions, giving you the inland pan-side experience here and the riverside one there. Published rate seasons run from April to November, from US$630 per person per night, so tell us your dates and we will confirm availability.
