A World Heritage Site, Mana Pools on the southern bank of the Zambezi River is one of southern Africa's top walking safari destinations. Mana Pools is the only game park in Zimbabwe home to predators and the larger mammals in which visitors are allowed to walk unaccompanied - this is of course done at your own risk.

Mana Pools is an unspoiled, remote Park in the Zambezi Valley, a subtropical region which extends over 2,196 square kilometres. From the river the terrain rises up to the Zambezi Plateau. The vegetation varies from open grasslands and mixed woodlands with mopane and acacia dominant, although giant winter-thorns, huge fig and sausage trees and some riverine species are also present.

Walking is allowed (at visitor’s own risk) and can be exhilarating and rewarding, if caution is taken. Avoiding potentially dangerous animals, dense thickets and tall grasslands is advised.
