Discover the authentic essence of an African safari at Little Mana, a rustic sanctuary set alongside a serene river channel that flows into the iconic Zambezi River. This unique camp features four private bush tents and two larger family units, each thoughtfully designed with ensuite bathrooms to ensure optimal comfort while immersing you in the surrounding wilderness.

As you wander along sandy paths you'll feel a deep connection to the traditional roots of safari culture. The atmosphere is a seamless blend of adventure and comfort, allowing you to experience the wild heart of Africa without compromising on the conveniences of modern living.

Each tent is a private retreat, offering a peaceful escape with private decks perfect for sipping morning coffee while absorbing the symphony of sounds from the surrounding flora and fauna.

Guests can unwind in the serene ambiance where the gentle sounds of the river create a soothing backdrop to their stay. Whether you choose to embark on guided safaris, explore the vibrant ecosystem, or simply relax and soak in the stunning views, Little Mana invites you to connect with nature in a truly immersive way. Experience the wild beauty and rustic charm of this unique sanctuary, where every moment is infused with the spirit of the Zambezi.

At Little Mana Sands, meals are unhurried, generous, and rooted in the rhythm of the bush. We focus on locally sourced ingredients and traditional flavours, offering simple, soulful dishes that nourish and delight.

You might wake to the smell of pancakes cooking in the wild, enjoy a picnic brunch beside a waterhole, or cast a line on the river while our team prepares a hearty fisherman’s breakfast. Evenings begin with the time-honoured tradition of safari sundowners, served with snacks in wild, beautiful places. On select nights, you’ll gather for a signature Mana Sands sundowner on the river, complete with a bonfire and the soft glow of dusk settling over the land.

Every moment around the table is shared, thoughtful, and full of the kind of warmth that lingers long after the last bite.
