What to Expect
John’s Camp was named after the renowned Zimbabwean safari guide John Stevens. John chose the camp’s current location at Mana Pools’ Nyamepi 1 campsite – although this might change in the future subject to permissions and permits. The current site is a spectacular location at the eastern end of the park, overlooking the Zambezi floodplains, the river beyond and the Zambezi escarpment in the distance. This area of the park has traditionally been quieter than the western side, partly due to its proximity to the park’s wilderness area. We expect that Nyamepi 1 will remain the camp’s setting for the foreseeable future.
Highlights
With just six Meru-style tents, the camp radiates an attentive and personal feel for all guests. Although simple, the tents are well thought out and comfortable, with a double or twin beds, solar reading lamps, a luggage rack and tea and coffee station. Aside from a basin at the back of the tent, the en-suite bathroom lies through a zipped door. Here, open to the sky but perfectly screened and private from the outside world, are a flush toilet and bucket shower, which is filled with hot water on request (though do remember to allow 30 minutes for the staff to heat it for you).
In front of the tent is a small shaded veranda with a couple of folding chairs, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee, relaxing with a drink and a book, or simply soaking in the majesty of your surroundings.
n addition to game drives in the Mana Pools area, options include walking safaris in the park and the relaxed nature of the wildlife in Mana Pools, we expect to be an incredible way to explore the area and encounter both small and large wildlife.
