MANA SANDS MAIN CAMP

ELEVATED   |   IMMERSIVE   |   UNTAMED

Tucked beneath the trees, overlooking a glorious floodplain that leads to the great Zambezi and its timeless escarpment, Mana Sands Main Camp offers an experience that is both elevated and grounding. With spacious tented suites, private plunge pools, and curated comfort throughout, every detail invites you to slow down and connect—immersed in the quiet power of Mana Pools.

  • Mana Sands Main Camp invites you to experience the wild in comfort—with elegant tented suites, sweeping views, and a sense of stillness that settles deep.

    Tucked beneath the trees and overlooking a floodplain that stretches toward the Zambezi River, this refined safari retreat features six spacious ensuite tents, including a dedicated family suite and a wheelchair-friendly option. Thoughtfully spaced for privacy, each tent includes a generous private deck and plunge pool—perfect for quiet mornings, sunset drinks, or simply soaking in the surrounding beauty.

    Designed to blend into the landscape while offering every modern comfort, Main Camp’s style is understated yet sophisticated. From curated interiors to soft lighting and natural textures, every detail is considered—with nature always at the centre.

    Guests enjoy personalised service, fresh seasonal dining, and a range of immersive safari experiences—on foot, by vehicle, by boat, or canoe. Whether you’re gathering around the fire under the stars or resting between adventures, Main Camp offers a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect.

    Here, luxury doesn’t take you away from the wild—it brings you closer to it.

  • At Mana Sands Main Camp, dining is as much a part of the experience as the safaris themselves—thoughtfully curated, rooted in place, and always warmly hosted. We take pride in using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to craft meals that celebrate the flavours of the region with elegance and care.

    Expect the unexpected: a bush breakfast as the sun rises over the floodplain, a picnic brunch with elephant views, or a fisherman’s spread on the river while you cast a line. Evenings begin with the time-honoured tradition of safari sundowners—served in the bush with thoughtfully selected snacks and sweeping views. It’s a moment to pause, share stories, and soak in the magic of the fading light together. On special nights, guests are treated to a fully set sundowner on the river, complete with bonfire, drinks table, and the golden glow of dusk on the escarpment.

    Every meal is an invitation to slow down, connect, and savour the moment.

  • 🌿 Six luxury tented suites, thoughtfully spaced for privacy, each with an en-suite bathroom, generous deck, and private plunge pool overlooking the floodplain.

    🌿 Seasonal, all-inclusive dining, inspired by regional flavours and served in a variety of settings—from al-fresco meals beneath the trees to quiet fireside dinners and bush brunches under open skies.

    🌿 A spacious, open-air lapa and lounge deck, offering uninterrupted views, curated comfort, and a place to pause between adventures.

    🌿 A central pool, ideal for cooling off after a walk or unwinding with a book as the day unfolds around you.

    🌿 A relaxed bush bar, where evenings begin with sundowners and shared stories, and end under the stars with quiet conversation and connection.

    🌿 Expertly guided safari experiences, led by Zimbabwe’s highly trained professional guides—renowned across Africa for their skill, storytelling, and deep bush knowledge. Activities include game drives, walking safaris, canoeing, fishing, birding, and sunset cruises. Private guiding is available on request.

    🌿 Wi-Fi available on request, in communal spaces and suites, for those who wish to stay connected.

    🌿 Daily housekeeping and complimentary laundry, ensuring comfort and care throughout your stay.

  • Every stay at Mana Sands is tailored—no two safaris are the same. Whether you're seeking quiet immersion or adventure-filled days, your experience is curated around your pace, interests, and comfort.

    Our administrative concierge is available to assist with onward travel arrangements, including transfers and accommodation to or from Victoria Falls, Hwange, Kariba, or any other Zimbabwean destination.

    We are a family-friendly camp, welcoming children aged six and above. Sharing the magic of the bush with the next generation is something we care deeply about. That said, it’s important to note that Mana Sands is completely unfenced, and wildlife moves freely through camp day and night. For this reason, children must be supervised at all times. Your private guide will accompany you to and from your tent and activities, ensuring both safety and a sense of wonder.

    We encourage families to embrace the wild together—through educational experiences, shared discoveries, and quiet moments that become lifelong memories.
