John's Camp
John's Camp is situated in Mana Pools, on the banks of the Zambezi River. The Camp is set amongst canopies of Trichelia and Mahogany trees. This is a truly natural wilderness and the only wild walking National Park in Africa - across this extensive floodplain one can walk in the midst of the local wildlife, enjoy sun-downers the banks of the River.
Accommodation at John’s Camp comprises just 10 beds, as there are just 5 Meru style tents. Each can be either a twin or a double and are en suite, with flush toilet and overhanging safari-style bucket shower. Inside the tent there is a small changing area complete with a running water basin. With privacy in mind, the tents are generously spaced out along the floodplain adjacent to the River.
The central dining area is centrally located between the tents, and positioned in thick shade. In addition, there is a campfire overlooking the floodplain for evening cocktails and snacks before dinner.
Activities are varied in this World Heritage Site. Enjoy extensive game drives, exploring this fascinating area. You can also go on guided walks, surely the best way to enjoy the Park and its wildlife.
For the more adventurous, enjoy a night out under the stars in a small dome tent (it’s a mosquito net) in the ‘fly camp’, or spend an evening enjoy the night sky and surrounds on a rustic platform.
You can now also enjoy a morning or afternoon Canoeing Safari on the Zambezi River - a truly exceptional way to enjoy this wonderful area.
Guests may also enjoy a delicious meal prepared in the main camp and set up in a remote and varied part of the park, be it overlooking the Zambezi River, an inland pan, a gully or the fascinating floodplain itself.
The Camp also offers land based fishing…. You have the chance to catch a variety of species from the Tiger Fish to the tasty Tilapia (bream). All Tiger Fish are on a strict catch and release, and there is a bag limit of 5 Tilapia per day.
Guests can also go on a private tour of the National Park Headquarters. Get to meet the rangers who work tirelessly to protect and maintain not only wildlife, but also the park itself. Here guests will witness first-hand a remote Parks station working in harmony with nature.
