Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe
Kanga Camp
Kanga Camp is set in private concession on the edge of Mana Pools National Park. The camp is built around Kanga Pan, a permanent water hole, which as the only source of permanent water in the area, draws in incredible game during the dry season.

-
Spend a night in the 'platforms', raised decks in the trees above a dry riverbed - an incredible experience under the African night sky
-
Track animals directly from camp with one of the expertly trained guides
-
Take a day trip into the national park itself and enjoy a picnic lunch on the banks of the Zambezi
Kanga Camp is an African Bush Camps property set within a private concession linked to the Mana Pools National Park, which is easily accessed by a game drive of approximately 1-hour. This intimate, six tented camp, is set back from the Zambezi away from the more visited Zambezi riverbank and offers a fantastic, different safari experience to the national park itself.
African Bush Camps is owned by the celebrated Zimbabwean guide Beks Ndlovu, himself a veteran of many years spent guiding in the area. At Kanga, Beks has created a safari experience which focuses on a private safari experience where tracking animals on foot with the highly qualified guides is a special experience.
This area of Zimbabwe is very hard to access during the rainy season as the dry riverbeds fill with rain water flowing from the escarpments. As a result, Kanga Camp is only open in the shoulder and dry seasons from April through to the end of October.

Top tip:
In the dry season you don't even need to go on the afternoon game drive...just sit on the deck and watch the action unfold!
