At Ruckomechi Camp, in the heart of Mana Pools National Park, you’ll have the chance to spot elephant, buffalo, lion, cheetah, and maybe the elusive leopard.

During the dry season, hungry predators haunt the watering hole, hoping for a good meal. Not to worry: these lionesses look fairly content!

 

Canoeing in Mana Pools National Park

In Mana Pools National Park, you don’t observe nature; you participate! A leisurely canoe ride turns into an unforgettable adventure with the help of a 14,000-pound African elephant.

 

On the Mana Walking Trail

You never know who you’ll encounter on your journey through Zimbabwe. In Mana National Park, this wild dog is alert, even at rest. Experienced guides will help keep you safe – but nothing can slow your beating heart!

 

White Water Rafting by Victoria Falls

What’s more incredible than viewing the “Smoke that Thunders”? How about tackling the rapids? Victoria Falls brings whitewater rafting to new levels. Don’t just watch: get wet!

 

Black Rinos in Matusadona National Park

The endangered black rhino finds refuge at Matusadona National Park. Conservation efforts, ecofriendly accommodations, breeding programs, and a stable water supply help support a healthy population.

 

Matusadona

Loosely translated, Matusadona means “falling dung” – a testament to the large wildlife population of this park! Drawn by abundant water, big game like the rhinoceros are frequent sights, so always have your camera close by.

 

Makalolo Herd

Exclusive game-viewing and luxurious camp-style chalets. What could be better? Makalolo is located in Hwange National Park, near a favorite watering hole for big game.

 

Elephants Taking a Quick Break

Swimming pool or watering hole? These playful elephants don’t care for such distinctions. Makalolo is teeming with elephants, who are not afraid to come up and say, “Hello.”

 

Matusadona Lodge

There are no boundaries between nature and luxury in Matusadona’s best lodges. Stunning scenery and magnificent wildlife are interwoven into every experience, whether you are on a safari adventure or simply gazing outside your window.
