AboutMana Pools National Park
Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a beautiful 2,196 sq. km wildlife conservation area in northern Zimbabwe. Mana means “four” in Shona, (one of the main vernacular languages in Zimbabwe) and it refers to the number of large permanent pools left by the Zambezi River as it flows into the flood plain. Mana is known as one of Africa’s best game viewing areas, as many large animals come here in search of water. It is also an excellent area for fishing, of course, and bird-watching, being rich in vegetation diversity from river frontage to forests of mahogany, wild fig, acacia albida and baobabs.

The Mana Pools in Zimbabwe were once flow channels of the Zambezi River. This fertile plain stretches over 2,000 square kilometers, most of which can only be reached on foot. The landscape consists of the Zambezi River with its islands and sandbanks, all surrounded by a forest landscape with baobab and indigenous trees.
Mana Pools National Park lies on the Zambezi River across from Zambia’s Lower Zambezi National Park. This affords Mana Pools stunning views across the Zambezi Escarpment, which makes up the backdrop of Lower Zambezi National Park.

There are many animals in Mana Pools, especially elephants and buffalo. You will find many different types of wildlife here, including zebras, waterbucks, antelopes, leopards, lions, hyenas, and wild dogs. The river is teeming with hippos and crocodiles.
