Day 01
On arrival in Mana Pools you will be met by your guide and game drive to camp. Mana Pools National Park covers a section of the Middle Zambezi Valley, extending from the Zambezi River in the north to the escarpment in the south. The Pools of Mana are lakes that mark former courses of the Zambezi. They are refilled by the swollen river during the rains and are home to populations of hippo, crocodiles and birds. During the winter months (Jun-Aug), shortages of food and water force the animals back towards the Zambezi River. This is generally when the wild dog settle down to den, and they can be located and it is prime time to work on research. The activities are planned to fit you and what action is going on in the bush at the time, so you get to experience the best out of what is happening in Mana Pools. Overnight Little Vundu Tented Camp.
