John's Camp
A Tented Camp on the Wild and Magical Zambezi River
Mana Pools National Park is situated on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. Here John's Camp is nestled among canopies of trichelia and mahogany trees. It is a truly natural wilderness and the only wild walking national park in Africa. Across the vast floodplain one can walk with the giants - African bull elephants, dine amidst herds of buffalo, gaze upon prides of lions, enjoy sundowners with hippos on the banks of the Zambezi River and bird watch over 400 species of birds. The semi-permanent camp is comprised of 10 beds, made up of 5 twin or double en suite Meru style tents. Each tent has en suite bathroom facilities with flush toilets and overhanging safari-style bucket showers. Inside the tent is a lit changing area complete with a running water basin. With privacy in mind, the tents are generously spaced out along the floodplain adjacent to the Zambezi River. The dining area is centrally located between the tents, positioned in thick shade, and there is a campfire overlooking the floodplain for evening cocktails and snacks before dinner. A common dining area and a star gazing sleep-out platform for the more adventurous safari traveler complete the common areas. Included activities are game drives conducted from Toyota Landcruisers and walks led by professional, armed and licensed guides who are both knowledgeable and passionate about their work. Guests can enjoy a night under the stars sleeping in a 'mozzi dome' tent, away from the main camp, or spend an evening under the wild and magical African skies on the rustic platform. Enjoy a delicious meal prepared in the main camp and set up in a remote and beautiful part of the park, overlooking either the Zambezi River, one of the many inland pans, a gully or the majestic floodplain itself.
