Kanga Camp
Kanga Camp is situated inside the Mana Pools National Park, 15km (a one hour drive) from the Zambezi River, along a seasonal floodplain of the Ruckomechi River in the most remote section of this World Heritage Site. The private concession is set away from the crowds where a private safari experience is the focus, and tracking wildlife on foot is a specialty.
Access to Kanga Camp is either via charter flight into Mana Main or Dandawa airstrip, 30 minutes from Camp, or a five hour scheduled road trip from Harare. Self-drive to the camp is not easy, only seasoned 4x4 drivers should attempt this.
Kanga is a twelve bedded camp, situated close to a water hole which attracts wildlife in the area, as it is their only source of water during the dry season. The six tents are large and of the walk-in Meru style, with en-suite bathrooms, outdoor bucket showers, and flush toilets. The tents have private verandahs overlooking the water hole. There is one family tent which has a double and two twin beds. Lighting in the tents is provided by rechargeable units, backed up with beautiful, crafted silver kerosene lanterns.
The main camp area is built on raised decking, and lies under the shade of large trees, overlooking a splash pool and the Kanga Pan. The central relaxing lounge also transposes as the dining area, where you will enjoy great home cooked meals.
Kanga Pan is an explorer’s paradise… an untamed area within the UNESCO World Heritage site of Mana Pools, offering you the pure and unspoilt African experience. The area is very diverse and permanent water source makes it a hub for wildlife.
Mana Pools is a pure wilderness area where the game is extremely accessible and can be approached on foot. Kanga Pan, as a permanent water source in the area, attracts animals to its waterhole all year round, including many larger species such as elephant and buffalo, and where plains game such as kudu, zebra, impala and waterbuck are also found. In addition, Kanga Pan is a Predator’s paradise; a resident lion pride lives permanently in the vicinity of the camp, wild dogs and leopards are often sighted. Hyena, cheetah, and crocodile are also present with an extensive and varied amount of birdlife.
Activities at Kanga Camp include game drives in open four-wheel drive vehicles and night drives, and foot safaris with expert guides. Kanga is the only private concession in Mana Pools, thus offering a truly remote and unique experience. Water based activities such as fishing and canoeing safaris on the Zambezi can be organised on request in advance, as well as full-day excursions to the Zambezi River.
Kanga Camp is open between May and October.
