Ingwe Pan
Mana Pools, Zimbabwe
Ingwe Pan Camp nestles alongside a large secluded pan in the pristine Mana Pools National Park, which forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The camp is a 30-minute drive from the famed Mana flood plain and Zambezi River and is known for its excellent walking safaris.
An intimate camp
Each of the 8 eco-luxury canvas tents are positioned on raised decks along the banks of a permanent pan offering guests privacy, comfort and unrivalled views. The camp has been designed so that the tents blend into the background, leaving the visiting animals to be the stars of the show.
The luxury of treading lightly
Ingwe Pan is made up of 8 spacious and elegantly furnished eco-luxury tents that offer comfort while resting lightly on the planet. The tents are slightly elevated to maximise the feel of a remote safari camp and each luxury unit is tucked into the woodland that fringes the pan to provide privacy and deliver magnificent views.
Views from the comfort of your tent
The tents at Ingwe Pan are positioned to the one side of one a large secluded pan, freeing the game to follow well-worn trails to the water’s edge. Watching a herd of animals drink from the comfort your bed is one of life’s greatest luxuries.
Game spotting on foot
The thrill of being on foot in a region known for its big animals is a once in a lifetime experience. It is also the opportunity to engage with the scents, sounds and smaller details of Nature’s intricate ecosystem.

All the comfort without the frills
What does this mean?
Machaba Safaris combines the authenticity of the past, the comforts of today and a future-thinking eco-awareness. Our camps feature iconic canvas tents, cooling plunge pools and communal bars and dining areas and reading nooks. We consciously forgo certain conveniences like hairdryers and air-con, and rely on alternative energy to lighten our load on the planet.
How we lighten the load
- Camp electricity is a hybrid of solar energy and a back-up generator.
- Low energy consuming appliances and light bulbs.
- No permanent fixtures means that our campsites can be rehabilitated in 1.5 years.
- Separate Bio Plants manage kitchen, laundry and staff village solids.

Camp Facilities and Amenities
Tented dining and social area
The oversized tented deck area forms the social hub of our camps. You can meet other safari goers at the bar, relax in the lounges or gather around the large fire pits to swap stories, fuelling the feeling of being on an authentic African safari in the bush.
Solar energy
We harvest the sun’s energy via solar panels, that store electricity in a battery bank. Our hot water supply is generated by a state of the art Thermodynamic Solar Energy system, which ensures that the camps have hot water, no matter the weather.
Eco-friendly kitchen and food storage
To keep our eco-footprint light, we use energy-efficient fridges in our kitchens, which we turn off at night. We also use coal cold rooms and cellars to store heat-sensitive items.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
A holiday in Africa is the perfect time to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature and loved ones. Due to the remoteness of the camp there is limited connectivity available. Wi-Fi connections are available in the main lodge area and rooms.
The library
The regions in which we operate are alive with history and local knowledge. In our library, you will find books about popular myths, legends and facts about the local land, the people, plants, animals, insects and more (plus the odd holiday read).
Your safari adventure starts here with Machaba.
