Mana Pools National Park
Zimbabwe
The most remote park in the country, Mana Pools is the first Biosphere Reserve in Zimbabwe. It's known for its big herds of elephant, buffalo, endangered wild dogs, lions and the more shy leopards, cheetahs and spotted hyenas.
A rare combination of topography, rainfall and vegetation gives rise to some of the best game viewing imaginable around this network of pools threaded along the Zambezi River.
Forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site
The longest continuous stretch of wildlife on the length of the Zambezi River
Has one of the highest concentration of wild dogs in Africa
Exceptional walking and canoeing safari opportunities
The only known area in which elephants stand on their hind legs to browse
Where to find Mana Pools National Park
Mana Pools National Park is found to the north of Zimbabwe and lies on the lower reaches of the great Zambezi River. Opposite Mana, on the Zambian side of the river, is the lower Zambezi National Park.
