Region information.

Mana Pools National Park (≈2,196 km²), part of the UNESCO-listed Mana Pools–Sapi–Chewore system, protects Zambezi floodplains, riverine forests and inland pans. It is renowned for on-foot encounters and exceptional dry-season concentrations of elephants, buffalo and predators along pools and the river. As a national park, activities are regulated: no off-road driving, with guided walking a hallmark; canoeing is available on the Zambezi. Kanga’s inland setting offers a contrasting, crowd-free experience focused on the life-giving Kanga Pan. Access is via fixed-wing flights to Dandawa Airstrip, then a 30-minute game-drive transfer.
