Vundu and Little Vundu

Vundu and its smaller season camp Little Vundu are owned and run by husband and wife team Nick and Des Murrary, both excellent and well-respected professional guides. Both camps are located in a small private concession in Mana Pools National Park which is one of the best game viewing parks in Africa.

Vundu and Little Vundu - The Details

The camps are set on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River with great views over to the escarpment on the Zambian side of the river and the Lower Zambezi National Park. David Attenborough filmed an episode of Dynasties from this camp, focussing on the local wild dog packs, with Nick as his guide.

Vundu is what you want from a real old school safari camp. The camp has no pretences and although it is a little less luxurious that than you will get at some of the other camps in Mana, the guiding and great service provides an amazing all-round safari experience.

The main camp has eight spacious tents including one family tent, each with stunning view over the river. Thatched roofs, en-suite facilities and indoor and outdoor showers all add to the charm of the property. The main central dining and lounge areas are open, allowing a cool breeze from the river to pass through whilst enjoying the sounds of the bush.

Little Vundu is a semi-permanent Meru style tented camp with only five tents a little downstream from the main camps. It is an ideal space for small groups and families to take it out exclusively.

Both camps offer day and night game drives, walking safaris with their expert guides, canoeing down the mighty Zambezi River, plus fishing for the enthusiastic few.

Mana Pools is well known for its walking safaris and the best time of year is during the dry season when vegetation is at its thinnest and water at its scarcest.
