Nyamatusi Camp and Mahogany

Our View

Nyamatusi Camp and its more family orientated camp Nyamatusi Mahogany are two of the most luxurious camps in Mana Pools National Park. Located in the far Eastern reaches of the National Park, on the banks of the Zambezi, you can either enjoy the endless wonders of Mana Pools on game drive or out walking, or stay back at camp and enjoy its comforts.

Nyamatusi Camp - The Details

Nyamatusi Camp has six luxury tented suites overlooking the Zambezi River and the escarpment over in Zambia beyond. The rooms are uniquely designed with a mixture of authentic African culture and modern quirks and they have been designed to blend in with the surroundings as a whole. So expect to feel like part of the landscape with a stay here. A big bonus, especially in the hotter months, is the air conditioning in each room, plus each your own private plunge pool which is found at the end of your private veranda. Both the spacious room and outside decking is ardorned with comfortable sofas and lounging chairs .

The main area is set over two floors with the upper floor doubling as a lounge area with great views over the river below. Dinners are generally not communal, but with such a warm atmosphere, a lot of guests end up enjoying each other's company for meals too. The food at Nyamatusi is as some of the best we have had on safari an the hospitality and service is faultless.

Nyamatusi Mahogany - The Details

Nyamatusi Mahogany is only a short distance from the main camp and is more family orientated. Accepting children of all ages, the four luxurious tented suites include two family rooms that are interconnected by a walkway.

With excellent guiding and the intimacy of a small camp, larger families thinking of taking a camp exclusively should certainly consider Mahogany as their destination in Mana Pools.

Both camps offer excellent game viewing in the wilderness area of Mana Pools National Park, whether it be by boat along the Zambezi, vehicle or by foot. Nyamatusi does however tend to stay open longer than most camps in Mana Pools, shutting around mid-December. As with most safari destinations, the dry season brings optimal game viewing as this is when the water sources are at their scarcest and game is more concentrated.

Combining Nyamatusi with Somalisa Camp in Hwangwe National Park is the ultimate luxury Zimbabwe safari, however for those guests who also enjoy a rustic experience and not travelling too far between accommodations, Kanga Camp located deep inland of Mana Pools would make for a terrific blend.
