Welcome to John’s Camp in Mana Pools National Park

The manager Tawanda runs the camp so smootlhy and efficiently, with grace and warmth. Always friendly and understanding and listens to everyone engaging at all levels. Someone to be treasured.

The highlight for us personally were the communual dining, and it would be something we would want in every camp going forwards as it was lovely to sit with the guides and other guests in the evening rather than be seperated. The professional guide, Fisher and the camp manager Tawanda were incredible.

The in-camp experience was just top-notch. Hospitality - food, drinks, laundry, all around guest care - was exceptional. Tawanda is a phenomenal camp manager. We cannot wait to come back again. On the game drives, our guides Mark and Obeit were absolutely fantastic. We learned so much from them, and we literally asked 100 questions and were never anserwed with '"I don't know." Questions about animals, birds trees, anything - they always knew the answer.

I wanted to thank you deeply for this amazing experience that we had at John’s Camp : no doubt, this camp is a real gem, with an amazing atmosphere / bush feeling !!

Very warm and friendly staff and so helpful, fantastic food and unbelievable surroundings.

John’s Camp deserves its reputation as a place to go at Mana Pools. It is simple and authentic, and you are really amongst the wildlife, with attentive staff and guides. Many great sightings, especially of the painted dogs. This is a lovely seasonal camp, with a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to all the staff for a memorable trip.

This camp is absolute perfection for anyone interested in luxury and wilderness. At camp, every detail is thought of. The tents are fantastic, the food is swoon worthy, the staff is wonderful...it’s all just magnificent. The location overlooking the floodplain could not be more perfect for maximum wildlife interaction and viewing.

We’ve enjoyed countless safaris; Zimbabwe, Namibia, Zambia and Botswana, all of which have set a very high standard, but Mana Pools and John’s Camp exceeded our expectations on so many levels. I can’t thank Milo and team enough for providing such a memorable stay.

I had 3 nights at this camp and enjoyed every moment. Whilst in the middle of nowhere all your needs are catered to, even flushing toilets and warm bucket showers. The staff were great, doing all they can to ensure my stay was a memorable one. You didn’t need to go far for wildlife viewing, elephants pass through the camp, buffalo and hippo graze on the flood plan and you can hear all manner of animals outside the tent at night.

So many thank you’s yet again to John Stevens, Milo, Tawanda, Dereson and the staff of Johns Camp for another outstanding week in the bush. Johns guiding and knowledge of the bush are without compare. If you really want to get a feel for Africa this is the place to come. Excellent food, comfortable tents, superb management and staff.
