What to Expect
Vundu Camp offers an authentic yet deeply comfortable safari experience in one of Africa’s most iconic national parks. With front-row views of the Zambezi River and access to a private concession in Mana Pools, this permanent tented camp combines classic charm with unforgettable wildlife moments. It’s a place where guests can feel the heartbeat of the bush and experience the wild in its purest form.
Highlights
Vundu Camp has eight large tented chalets. Outside the front of each is a private seating area with canvas chairs; inside, large wooden beams support a high thatched roof with canvas walls and shade-mesh windows. All have very secure mosquito nets covering each twin or double bed, polished concrete floors scattered with rugs, and free-standing fans. Comfortable wicker chairs with cushions, and a low table, provide a small lounge area, and a shelving unit supplies storage space.
Two of the bigger chalets each have two double beds, and a larger family chalet has two separate en-suite bedrooms and a shared lounge: ideal for a family or two couples travelling together. Each chalet has an en-suite bathroom with spacious indoor and open-air hot showers, a flush toilet.
Activities at Vundu Camp focus on a combination of canoe safaris, game drives and walking safaris, exploring both the camp’s private concession and the wider areas of Mana Pools National Park.
Much of the appeal of Mana Pools lies in this flexibility, with activities often naturally combining driving and walking depending on tracks, sightings and conditions. During one stay, we approached both lion and wild dog on foot to within a few tens of metres, while another memorable encounter involved the famous elephant bull Boswell, standing on his hind legs to feed from the trees above him.
