Zimbabwe is a landlocked country in southern Africa lying between the Limpopo and Zambezi Rivers and known for its dramatic landscape and diverse wildlife, much of it within parks, reserves and safari areas. Mana Pools National Park is the first stop on your safari, where Jonh’s Camp is located. The name ‘Mana’ means ‘four’ in the local Shona language, this refers to the four large pools inland from the Zambezi River. Mana Pools is home to a wide range of mammals and over 350 bird species.

From Zimbabwe you then move on to Zambia, spending time at Nkwali Camp & Nsefu Camp in South Luangwa National Park. The Luangwa Valley, which marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of the last unspoiled wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It covers an area of over 9000 sq. km. through which the meandering Luangwa River runs. The ox bow lagoons, woodland and plains of the valley host huge concentrations of game – including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo – and over 450 species of birds.

Finally across the border in Malawi, you will spend a few days on the beach soaking up the sun on Lake Malawi. Situated on the west side of the Nankumba Peninsula on the Southern end of Lake Malawi you can find Pumulani Lodge subtly nestled in the lush hills amongst the trees and craggy outcrops. The ten villas provide the ultimate in space, design, comfort and privacy. The lodge offers the perfect mix for a memorable holiday. Enjoy being active or simply relax in the beautiful and tranquil scenery.
