Nyamatusi Camp

Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe

Nyamatusi Camp

Jump to:

On the eastern fringes of Mana Pools is the Nyamatusi Wilderness Area, a significant pride-land for the predators of the national park. Nyamatusi Camp covers a large footprint spreading across the floodplain, set back from the river. Each of the six sophisticated and air-conditioned tented suites is positioned under the shade of a tree, to provide total seclusion with a private plunge pool and stocked minibar.

A communal atmosphere occurs in the heart of the camp, where you'll find a library, wine cellar, pool, the dining deck and fire pit. 

OUR OPINION:

The quiet and remote setting of this lodge really makes it stand out as one of the best in Mana Pools.

OUR RATING: Deluxe

Rooms

There are six luxury tented suites and the neighboring Nyamatusi Mahogany has two family suites. Each suite has air conditioning, indoor and outdoor showers, bathtub, private plunge pool and minibar.

Location

Nyamatusi Wilderness Area is on the eastern fringes of Mana Pools National Park. There is very limited vehicle access so few other safari vehicles and people will be seen. The camp is set back from the river, with views across the floodplain, often dotted with grazing game.

Food and drink

Three delicious meals will be served each day, either on the dining deck or down on the floodplain around a fire. Private dining on your deck can also be arranged.

Families

Nyamatusi welcomes those over the age of seven, however all ages are accepted in the family suites at Nyamatusi Mahogany. For safety reasons only those over the age of 16 are permitted to join walking safaris.

Facilities and activities

Activities here focus primarily on walking safaris in the wilderness area but game drives in open 4x4 vehicles can take you into the action of the national park. It is also possible to take to the water in a canoe or try your hand at fishing for tiger fish or bream.
