Steve and Frank are gifted naturalists, with deep attunement to the Zambezi Valley. The camp location is unmatched.

Wonderful team. Kind, welcoming, skilled, and genuine in their want for the guest to have a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Anytime your feet are in Mana Pool soil, you've done something right. Steve is a gifted guide - you will see nature in an entirely different light when you walk with him

Mana magic - made safe and accessible by the team at Camp Mana

This was by far and away my favourite camp. The hosts were fantastic, the food excellent, the guiding incredible, which all created a sublime experience.

Steve is an amazing guide. He seems to know every little bit about the environment, the animals, the geography, and he could accurately tell me where/when I could get good photos.

We walked and sat next to lions, elephants, wild dogs, and all types of animals. He provided some important context for and I truly felt like I left with a much better appreciation for Mana Pools

It is located in a beautiful location next to the Zambezi river, with a steady parade of elephants, antelope, and baboons and some truly specttacular views.

Camp was ecologically responsible and wasn't too heavy on the environment

Spectacular location, down to earth, wildlife everywhere around camp

To see the elephants of Mana Pools stand on their hind legs to feed is a once in a lifetime time experience

Steve and Frank were very alert to what we were interested in seeing and ensured we ticked all our ‘must see’ items. Steve’s knowledge of the whole ecosystem of Mana Pools is amazing

To walk amongst the elephants and other wildlife was unbelievable but we always felt safe with Steve

The unique location on the banks of the Zambezi River gives access to driving, walking and canoeing safaris in a beautiful, flora and fauna rich area

It is unbelievable that such a comfortable camp is erected each season and leaves such a small footprint on the area. It is a true credit to the owners.

Camp Mana is located in Mana Pools, a breathtaking place. The camp is near the river where you can see animals all day long, from lions, elephants, and hippos to small birds and snakes. A paradise on

My husband and I have been on other safaris, but nothing compares to Camp Mana. By far the best walking safari in Africa. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

We had Steve as our guide, and his expertise is incredible. He manages to convey his love for animals and his boundless knowledge of them.

Imagine walking along a shallow canal and noticing eyes peeking out above the green plants. Oh, that egret isn’t on land, but on the hippo’s back!

I looked out from my comfortable tent at a baboon, who was studying me just as intently. Elephants roam around the camp…unforgettable!

Steve is a wealth of knowledge and a great human being. The other guides we worked with were also outstanding.

Incredible walks, so close to the animals but always felt safe with Steve. We felt privileged to be with someone with such extraordinary experience in such a unique setting

The six of us had an amazing experience, brought our family together in a way different from our past travels

Close, safe, encounters with wildlife in camp and on jeep safari--excellent guides. Magical.

Steve Bolnick's deep knowledge and passion for wildlife plus his ability to lead us on a walking tour through the bush are unparalleled.

Steve Bolnick walked with us safely and respectfully close to wildlife --honoring the animals but giving us a phenomenal perspective on the ground rather than the more typical jeep safari experience.

Located on the Zambezi River, the camp offers spectacular sunrises and sunsets, elephants walking by the open dining tent, and views of other wildlife close by. A very special place.

Steve Bolnick and his crew always have the best interests of the wildlife in mind. Plus, the entire camp, tents and gear, are packed up in the off-season, significantly reducing their impact.

De

Camp Mana was overall amazing. We loved the location by the river and exploring the beautiful park. .

Steve and his guides were great! We were able to see so many of the elephants in their family groupings and his explanations of the land, animals and their interconnection and history was fascinating

The walking safari is a completely different experience and it was great to have Steve as our guide, identifying every bird, plant, and animal and explaining how they all co-exist.

Camp Mana is a beautiful location, right on the Zambezi River and in the midst of a busy wildlife area, the elephants, baboons and hippos were often walking right through the camp.

It's hard to believe that such a comfortable camp is taken down completely every year. Our tents were cosy and safe, the dinner/living room tent was open air and often had elephants looking in at us.

Steve Bolnick is a superb mobile Safari operator.

Camp Mana property offers a genuine experience of the natural environment of Africa.

Camp Mana is a spectacular place for a family African Safari experience!

Truly is a once in a lifetime safari experince at Camp Mana. The whole team made the experoence special and unforgettable.

Absolutely amazing guiding team. So passionate and full of.knowledge. really made the whole experience magical and life changing

The team were fantastic at walking safaris. They were able to safely allow you to get up close and personal with wildlifw whilst maintaing safety at all times

Absolutley amazing location on the riverbank. Quiet and peaceful yet so close to nature and wildlife.

Steve is a fantastic guide , his knowledge is immense. We live his approach always respecting animals welfare.

All the staff can guide, they are local ms and knows perfectly how to react with the wildlife

Steve guided us many times, even with our daughters , we have had fantastical encounters, we are still talking about those memories

Ours girls would like to come back

Camp Mana , is a beautiful place, facing the Zambezi river and a lot of wildlife coming through the camp. We just love that. The tents are simple but very ccomfortable

Steve and his entire crew couldn’t have been better

Lion,elephants,all kinds of ungulates…just beyond thrilling

they care about the guest but more so the flora and fauna

Just a top-notch experience in a stunningly beautiful place with an exceptional team.

Steve Bolnick is by far one of the best guides in all of southern Africa. His knowledge of wildlife and birds is deep and he and his team are simply fantastic at connecting visitors with nature.

I've been on a number of safaris, but nowhere where we could spend as much time out walking as at Camp Mana. It makes a world of difference.

Hard to beat a camp overlooking the Zambezi River with wildlife all around. Truly peaceful. One is a part of nature here.

You can't get more ecologically sustainable than Camp Mana. Everything--and I mean everything--is taken down and stored away off-site during the off season. The impacts of the camp are minimal.

Steve Bolnick's inmense knowledge and patience explaining every last detail from plants and rocks to animals is inspiring.

Felt always safe while walking and learning from Mana pool's guiding team. Taking care of us in every aspect, and adapted to our needs.

The view to the Zambezi river in the diner tent is a safari experience on itself, could not be a better location!

The fact that when the season is over the whole camp vanishes leaving no trash behind made us feel good and ecologically responsible about our impact during our safari experience.

Steve Bolnick's and their team passion and compromise with the bush makes you instantly want to learn all there is to know, cherish and take care of the humbling nature of Mana pools.

Absolutely incredible experience, being up close but still very respectful for the wildlife

I have traveled extensively in Kenya, Sourh Africa, and Zimbabwe. Camp Mana was the best safari experience I’ve had. I’ve never been so close to wildlife. We watched a troupe of cape hunting dogs.

Steve and Karl are so knowledgeable and at home in the bush

Being able to walk safely in the bush exceeded all expectations and we saw much more than you can from a vehicle.

We were definitely far from the madding crowd. The location on the shore of the river brought wildlife right to the door. Literally!

At every opportunity Steve taught about ecologically responsible behavior in the bush. He also practiced what he preached. He let his life speak in his passion for the land and all of its inhabitants.

One of the most genuine and authentic safari experiences I have yet to see and be on!

Steve’s expertise for the bush, ecology and wildlife bring a sense of safety and inspire constant curiosity!

The camp is set in the beautiful rift valley and right on the banks of the Zambezi, a beautiful backdrop whilst having a cold drink as the animals come down to drink during sunset

Camp Mana is one of the most affordable camps in Mana if not in Zimbabwe -

The camp mana team pride themselves on their ecological responsibility. The camp is run entirely on solar, everything is recycled and they truly leave no footprint when the pack up for the year!!

DAILY ENCOUNTERS WITH JAW-DROPPING WILDLIFE; IMAGINE WITNESSING A PACK OF HYENAS FEASTING ON THE REMAINS OF AN ELEPHANT WHILE A PAIR OF SATED LIONS LOUNGE NEARBY? STEVE KNOWS EVERY INCH OF THE CAMP.

STEVE IS A NEVER-ENDING SOURCE OF INFORMATION PAIRED WITH THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT. PETE COMES FROM A LONG LINE OF FAMILIAL SAFARI GUIDES AND ADDS A TRIBAL SPIN TO THE TRIP.

WALKED FOR MILES IN THE BUSH AND SAW INCREDIBLE THINGS NOT VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD - HOW ABOUT TRACKING A CROCODILE FROM PATTERNS IN THE DIRT, AND RECOGNIZING EVERY TIME IT PAUSED TO REST? WOW.

ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT TRAVELLING WITH FAMILY, I EXPECT THIS WOULD BE A MOST AMAZING EDUCATIONAL AND BONDING EXPERIENCE!

LOCATED ALONG THE BANK OF THE ZAMBEZI RIVER - OTHERWORLDLY AT NIGHT, WHEN SO MANY SPECIES GATHER PEACEFULLY. ESPECIALLY LOVE THE HIPPO SOUNDS DURING THE NIGHT.

ALL OUR NEEDS WERE ANTICIPATED BEFOREHAND, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF SPOILING US!

WORTH EVERY PENNY - I'LL ALWAYS TREASURE MEMORIES OF THE TIME I SPENT HERE. I EXPECTED THIS TRIP TO BE A ONCE IN A LIFETIME THING, BUT I WOULD RETURN IN A HEARTBEAT!

THE COMMUNAL AREA WAS TASTEFULLY DECORATED IN A MIX OF SAFARI CHABBY CHIC WITH A TOUCH OF VICTORIAN CHARM. FURNISHED WITH EVERYTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY WANT OR NEED.

THIS PROPERTY IS ARRANGED SO AS TO SEAMLESSLY BLEND IN WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS - SPOTLESSLY CLEAN, METICULOUSLY CARED FOR WITH A GREAT CHEF WHO IS HAPPY TO ACCOMMODATE SPECIAL REQUESTS.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING GOES TO WASTE; ALL FOOD IS CONSUMED, ALL TRASH IS COMPOSTED OR RECYCLED. WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO PRACTICE WATER CONSERVATION.

Steve, Frank, and the team made my first safari an unforgettable experience. Great hospitality, fantastic game viewing, and truly authentic.

Steve has a vast knowledge of Mana's flora and fauna which he is passionate to share. The canoe safari offered a different perspective.

Exploring Mana Pools on foot provides an immersive experience with surprises around every corner. Steve and team show respect for the animals and their personal space.

Incredible views across the Zambezi with an abundance of game coming down to graze in the afternoon.

Steve's commitment is second to none. The camp is completely off-grid. At the end of each season the camp is complete packed away and returned to nature.

BEST experience of my safari adventures by far! A must for those that want to be close to nature in such a calm place!

Steve was extremely knowledgeable and informatine

We spent lots of time walking, listening and watching animals at close but safe quarters

Beautiful location

As mentioned , expert guiding, very knowledgeable , enthusiastic and great communicator

Minimal disturbance to the natural habitat

It was amazing to be in camp with elephants all around. The food was amazing!

Steve and his team are very knowledgeable, safe and fun to be with!

I loved how we were guided to be able to walk safely among the animals without disturbing them.

We were right on the Zambezi river with many different species wandering within view of the camp.

They set up camp for 6 months, then tear it down to let the land recover.

From game drives to canoe excursions to walking safaris to exquisitely unique dining experiences, Camp Mana has the staff to do it all, without creating an artificial ambience of feeling too pampered.

This is one category in which Camp Mana excels, leaving one feeling that there’s no other safari to consider.

What could be better than looking out of your tent or the dining canopy and seeing at least a half dozen mega fauna species on the banks of the Zambezi any given moment?

Camp Mana gives non-invasiveness the highest priority, treading lightly with all activities at all times. The relaxed nature of the wildlife frequenting the site is clear testimony to this.

Camp Mana, Steve Bolnick, and staff offer a sublime, immersive, authentic experience, leaving visitors feeling integrated with the African experience. The only bad thing is you won’t want to leave.

Steve and his team did a wonderful job with catering my family's safari experience to us! He took our interests into consideration and even showed us things that we loved that weren't on our radar!

I loved interacting with Steve and his team. Every day was different and exciting!

Camp Mana's walking safari experience is unmatched. We were able to get close to many animals without disturbing them in their natural habitat. It was nice to live on the animals' land.

I had a wonderful time with my family at Camp Mana!

Camp Mana's location is right on the river which attracts lots of animals!

Beautiful location!

Camp Mana is completely sustainable as it is packed up at the end of the season.

Best trip of my life! Steve and company are amazing!

Expert guides Steve & Frank are exceptional, each with a great sense of humor and vast knowledge of fauna & flora. We really appreciated that they never crowded the animals.

Expert guides with a vast knowledge of the animals, birds, trees, and everything else. Such an exhilarating experience! We felt completely safe walking with Steve and Frank.

The most exquisite place to be. Africa at its best! The wide vistas of the Zambezi River & surrounds are breathtaking with the sounds of the bushveld & endless viewings of wildlife passing the camp.

Can't be beat in this category! This solar powered camp is packed up and completely removed during the off-season. Not a trace is left behind so that regrowth can take place.

A magical experience in every way. Their expertise and respect for nature is second to none.

Incredible time in Camp Mana in September with my family. Couldn’t recommend the place enough.

Steve, Frank and the whole guiding team were amazing through our time. Their knowledge and willingness to explain is beyond impressive.

Steve took us walking and we saw so many amazing animals and plants. Showing the tracks and how one tracks was particularly impressive.

My family had an amazing time at Camp Mana and felt safe and looked after at all times.

The place looks entirely untouched and you really feel you are in the middle of the bush.

Incredible knowledge, game viewing, accommodation and food. Camp Man truly are incredible and deserving of all the accolades that come their way

Steve and team have deep guiding experience which is obvious from the moment you arrive in camp, incredible!

Steve and team have deep guiding experience which is obvious from the moment you arrive in camp, incredible! They are respectful and have such a passion and love for the nature and ecosystem

Our family had the most incredible experience at camp mana

Breathtaking and remote

Incredible respect and love for the ecosystem

Getting up close with wild dogs in Mana was a great experience.

Steve has immense knowledge of everything around.

Nothing beats the banks of the Mighty Zambezi

My first safari experience: safety, knowledge, expertise, care for ecosystem, love for animals and nature, conscience, warmth, comfort, sustainability. All in one.

The team took care of every aspect, individually addressing each one’s needs and expectations.

Felt so safe and glad to walk behind Steve Bolnick while listening to his precise and thorough explanations while approaching elephants or watching birds and plants. Sublime!

The view to the river with animals grassing and bathing was incredible. The animals passing by our tents, the wild just beside…Felt like just another animal in the system while keeping it unaltered.

All arrangements were perfectly set.

Tents and facilities were top quality while sustainable and comfortable blending with nature and animal life

Perfect place for gathering at the bedouin tent, excellent catering and staff

Water management and waste disposal were conscious. Care for animals life and respect prevailed.

Steve is just amazing with an inmense knowledge of nature. Best guide ever !!!

Truly a magical place with special people who make every minute spectacular!

Steve’s knowledge of the flora and fauna is incredible. We spent hours walking through the bush, and would pause frequently to point out the subtle signs of life around us- truly incredible!

Walking with Steve Bolnick wasn’t just an adventure—it was an education. It was a rare privilege to experience the African bush in such an intimate and thoughtful way.

There are some places in the world that stay with you long after you’ve left them. Camp Mana is one of those rare places! On the banks of the Zambezi with wildlife right before your eyes! Must see!

It’s rare to find a guide who balances the excitement of a safari with the profound responsibility of conservation in such an authentic and meaningful way.

We had lions walk through camp and elephants eating seed pods next to our breakfast table! Amazing!

We walked from camp, all along the Zambezi River, all the way to where we could photograph Mana Pools’s famous Boswell the elephant in late afternoon light.

The view over the floodplain in front of camp is magical and it’s very close to some of Mana Pools’s iconic photographic areas, like the Albezia forests.

I love that Camp Mana tries to have as small a footprint as possible, with only the necesities in camp and low light impact at night.

Steve & his team at Camp Mana provided my family & I with a luxuriously comfortable stay alongside some fantastic walking & game viewing!

Steve's knowledge is fantastic. He jokes about having ornithological Tourettes but his ability to identify birds in the bush was admirable!

We enjoyed multiple walks in Mana with Steve. He was very good at reading the body language of all of the mammals & understood when it was safe to approach quietly & when to back away.

Camp Mana aims to leave minimal footprint at the end of the season whilst allowing guests to live in comfort & enjoy the surroundings.

In 2025 we sent 27 guests to Camp Mana all of them were overwhelmed by the hospitality.

Most of our clients report back that the guiding by Steve, Frank and Peter was exceptional.

We gave Camp Mana 119 bed nights in 2025. Everyone of our clients participated in a walking safari. They were all impressed and awestruck by Steve's guiding.

Most of our guests comment on the sweeping views across the floodplain and he Zambezi river onto the Zambezi escarpment with wild life passing by at all times.

Some guests are initially hesitant about the simplicity of Camp Mana but they all leave appreciating the comforts available in spite of the environmentally sensitive design.

Breathtaking. If you know safari - this is a no brainer

This hidden gem is nothing without its superstar team. From the kitchen to the walking safaris to the luxurious and wild tents - simply perfect.

Steve's plethora of knowledge makes this a truly immersive and

Go and see the view from the dining room and decide for yourself...

Steve and the team's commitment to preserving and protecting the spaces within which they operate is remarkable. A luxury experience that is environmentally friendly and conscious.

Truly authentic in every respect.Every expectation surpassed - from accommodation, meals, care of guests and access to nature - no holds barred.

Steve Bolnick is an exceptional and knowledgable guide. Immense knowledge of trees, birds, mammals and reptiles. All presented with enthusiasm. Care for the environment shown in every action.

Something new every minute. Great care and attention to safety in all close encounters. First rate attention to desires of clients whilst respecting personal space of animals.

Overlooking the Zambezi with grassy plains offering unrivalled views of game throughout the day and with a drop of mountains behind.

Camp runs almost entirely on 1.6kW solar power and minimal use of a small generator. When the camp closes every mid-November there is nothing to show for it having been there.

It truly amazed me how much connection Steve has with the animals and this goes both ways. There is no question Steve can't answer.

We went on canoeing aswell as walking safari's. The idea of being so close to the animals scared me at first, but camp mana's crew took al that fear away the second we started the safari.

I'm normally not someone who likes get up ealry, but Steve's walking safari made it totally worth it. I learned so so much about nature and i even got excited to get up early for the next safari.

Being in camp mana feels like you are one with nature. I think all the animals in Mana pools would give 5 stars aswell, cause they would come by and say hello all the time without any fear.

In camp mana you're only using the electricity ,light and water that you really need. This is really great for the environment and i believe it improves the safari experience aswell.

We felt completely immersed by nature. this was the absolute best experience ever. Stunning views, comfortable yet simple, exclusivity by location, exciting walks, canootrips, lunch with éléphants

Steve is an extremely knowlegdeable, experienced, passionate guide with loads of amazing stories to tell. Our private walks were unforgettable and truly connected us to the wildlife around.

Simply the best. We felt at ease the whole time, Steve is incredibly skilled and can recognize elephants by their footprints. We came incredibly close to elephants and always felt safe nonetheless.

It’s a temporary camp located right on the banks of the Zambezi. The views and sounds of hippos, lions and roaming elephants is all around you. Pure authentic wilderness, how safari was meant to be.

by far the most eco friendly camp we ever visited, designed to leave no trace. 100% solar powered, warm bucket showers, only limited WiFi, sustainability and authenticity in the purest form

Steve has remarkable depth of knowledge of the ecology in the region, and a deep passion for all things that make Mana Pools so magical.

Fantastic group of people. Resourceful and committed to providing a down to earth and authentic experience for clients.

On the shore of the Zambezi, truly heavenly.

Wonderful time together with family and friends - fun walking in the bush, excellent meals, good wine, lots of knowledgeable guides.

Brilliant to be tracking Cape hunting dogs and to sit nearby and watch them affectionately engage with each other. Unforgettable!

Steven Bolnick is a brilliant guide; he knows so much and is very generous in sharing his insights and knowledge.

Beautifully situated on the banks of the Zambezi. You cannot beat seeing the animals parade past, just outside your tent as the sun rises or sets with its stunning rich orange colour...

Wonderful all round...

Based on the fact that Camp Mana is entirely re-done every year, the set-up was perfect and above our expectations of a true bush experience with all the authenticity we expected for a trip in Africa.

The team went above and beyond to adapt the schedule to meet our walking activities.. We walked twice every day for 5 days at our request and every walk was unique, enriching and spectacular.

From the start, we could feel the strong bond within the guiding team, which made our experience unforgettable. The knowledge of the guides and passion for everything living was purely contagious.

it was our 8th safari and we could not have asked for a more beautiful setting on the banks of the Zambezi river. The rich wildlife activity day and night at the camp was thrilling and unforgettable.

We loved every minute of our 5 days at Camp Mana, from the location, camp set-up, staff quality, exceptional food and unforgettable guiding and walking experiences, it was all 5 stars.

The camp is overlooking the river and the dismantleble tents do not disturb the natural setting of the park as wildlife roams freely by the camp.

very intentional about being ecologically responsible!

superb location on the Zambezi River with open floodplain views!

Best in Mana Pools

Would not go anywhere else

From the beginning they are off the top shelf

Best guides

Best team and service in Mana

Place for love

Best location in Mana

Always best experience

Yes!

Yes!

best ever game walk I had

These guys are really trying to live the zero footprint ideology. Bravo!

A unique product in all ways. Walking safari is the best I ever tried in Africa. Being the pet of a tour operator for 20 years I have experience. Location is also superb and so beautiful and quiet.

You can't get closer to nature.

Best combination of pure nature, rivers and crazy elephants.

The one and only Steve

Most beautiful spot in Africa

Policy is total removal of everything from the site each season end ..September. Much care wotj garbage removal and infilling of toilet sites

Steve Bolnick gave a memorable walk ...he extremely knowledgeable

No forst hand experience but in conversation at camp the team is greatt

Iconic lication on banks of Zambezi with escarpment hills on far bank to frame the sunset

The camp runs completely off the grid and everything used is carefully thought out to protect the environment.

Mana Pools is one of the best destinations for walking safaris. I had the most amazing up close Elephant encounter that I will forever cherish, all while feeling so safe in our guides hands.

Steve Bolnick and his team of guides are exceptional. they are very experienced and passionate about Mana Pools and the wildlife. There knowledge is unbelievable and I learnt so much from them

My clients had the most amazing walking experience with Steve he is a phenomenal guide

We visited 4 safari properties on our trip before Camp Mana. Camp Mana is by far the most ecologically friendly of them all.

Steve' knowledge is encyclopedic and he addresses your interest in detail. I learned more in three day with him than in the previous weeks at other properties combined.

It was evident that the Mana Camp guides love observing Africa. No doubt they are doing the same thing when they have no clients to guide.

This was the only property we visited that was in a park. What it misses in luxury it more than makes up for in experience. When I return for safari, this will be the only property I will return to.

It seems to me you could lift this entire camp off the ground overnight and you wold never knew it was there in the first place..I like that a LOT!!

With Steve at the help...you just know you are going to see what you set out to look for, you know you will get back safe, share the meomry and enjoy every second of the sighting. A true professional

Every detail from the start of a booking to the feedback form clients has always been a joy to deal with, Debbie is meticulous, caring, empathetic, understanding and profesional

Steve knew exactly what he was doing when he chose the spot...truly the best sundowner spot in Africa, love every inch of its view.

They are extremely conscious with regards to leaving no trail of man behind. When they cook and clean, they leave no trace. When packing up at end of season, I've never met someone as ecology consciou

Steve Bolnick is the most knowledgeable guide I've ever encountered. After having done many safaris, he's the the one I keep going back to!

The guides are the best including Steve Bolnick. He has amazing staff helping him make the best experience possible.

Lions and hippos nearby...the absolute best!!! The location has elephants on property ALL the time!

Light touch is the way to go. Camp Mana leaves no trace behind. Way to go!

Steve Bolnick is a master and his outstanding knowledge is paired with his ability to capture you. Nothing more inmersive!

All team working like a clock.

The riverbanks of the Zambezi river are breathtaking location. A must go if visiting Zimbabwe

Steve is an incredible guide! Extremely knowledgeable, interesting and excited to share what he knows. An eye opening experience!!

Walking safaris from Camp Mana enjoy a great location, one of the most knowledgeable guides in the region becoming a full luxury !!

When your team is extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, flexible, fully respectful with the environment and fun, you know you are on the best hands.

What else can you ask for that a lounge over the Zambeze river and a full immersion in the wild nature!! Fantastic!!

Apart from being a paradise on earth, Camp Mana's light touch on the environment and passion for nature are among its best differentiating features. It's a luxury for the senses and a for our planet

Camp is very well laid out with minimal disturbance/impact to the bush.

Wonderful peaceful and safe walking with a phenomenal guide - Steve Bolnick

Great team all round!

Perfect location on the banks of the Zambezi

Steve and his team genuinely love and car for Mana

When they care for the land, they car for the guest experience also

The lads and lasses work hard to ensure you experience true Mana, Well better than the standardised "Safari Lodge" experience one gets elsewhere.

How can you get better than Mana Pools?

Leave nothing behind

Steve Bolnick is the best

Perfect. We had everything which is really necessary in the bush, but no unnecessary posh features which are not eco friendly and in most cases expensive too.

Steve is an excellent guide, so that we were able to spend a full day on foot with Boswell , the famous elephant of Mana Pools. We were able to get close without disturbing the animal. Just amazing

Steve guided us safely through the forest and we had exceptional encounters with wild dogs, elephants and buffalo’s.

Fantastic location, directly on the the banks of the mighty Zambesi

Extremely impressed by total commitment to minimize impact of camp and visiting guests. Great attention to detail to leave a clean spot when they pack up camp every year to allow nature to recover.

Excellent value for the quality and level of experience.

The team are ecologically sensitive and committed. Great awareness of not disturbing the environment in any way.

Steve Bolnick is a brilliant walking safari guide - knowledgeable of the area, the plants, animal behaviour, the birds, seasons and more. We tracked wild dogs and watched them for hours.

Excellent guides - walking and driving, knowledgeable and sensitive to environment.

Absolutely stunning location on river bank with lions, elephants, baboons, antelope walking through camp on occasion. Wonderful sunset and sunrise.

Would go again and again!

Excellent value for Money, even in high season

Steve is focused on low impact

True bush experience, one of the best walking spots

Guides are of a high standard

Best Location

Combination of activities combined with no wifi, fantastic guiding, rewarding game viewing.

Fabulous walks along and near the Zambezi River

Altogether memorable

I have stayed in many camps in Africa and none care more for the local environment than the owners of Camp Mana.

Steve Bolnick's skills and knowledge as a walking safari guide are beyond any that I've experienced in 10 years of safaris.

Even on a long stay at Camp Mana, Steve makes every day fascinating. His knowledge seem inexhaustable.

Nothing beats the north-facing (important in the southern hemisphere) Zambezi river frontage of Camp Mana. It is idyllic.

This is the place I'd choose to come back to every year if I could.

I stayed there for a long stay last year and enjoyed every moment.

As close to integrating with nature as possible.

All inclusive amazing food and experiences

A clear priority for Camp Mana

Fantastic walking experiences

Steve and the rest of the team are outstanding. Very, very knowledgeable

Wonderful location with animals walking by the main tent

Amazing experience for the whole family

Camp Mana provided an exquisite boutique experience at an excellent price point.

Camp Mana is dismantled every year, leaving minimal impact on the environment.

Doing walking safaris with Steve was simply an amazing experience. He kept us safe while showing us so many facets of the park's ecology.

Banks of the Zambezi. Hard to beat.

Our experience at Camp Mana was our first ever safari. Nothing since has come close.

Spent four days at Camp Mana. A wonderfully low impact, yet very comfortable, camp in an idyllic setting.

How wonderful to be out of vehicles walking through the bush. Incredible sightings, including painted dogs.

Steve Bolnick is truly one of a kind. A remarkably knowledgeable, thoughtful, fun and kind guy.

Can't beat overlooking the Zambezi River.

Every year we were in Mana,love it
