Mana Pools Photo Safari
Overview
Mana Pools Photographic Safari – Walk Among Giants
Step into the wild heart of Africa on our Mana Pools Photographic Safari—one of the most anticipated highlights in our calendar. This exclusive experience offers something truly rare: the chance to photograph wildlife on foot, eye-to-eye and unfiltered, in one of Africa’s last great untouched wildernesses.
Imagine capturing the unforgettable moment of a wild elephant balancing on its hind legs, reaching gracefully into the Albida trees for seedpods, bathed in the park’s signature soft, hazy glow. These scenes are not just once-in-a-lifetime—they’re uniquely Mana Pools.
Set within a remote 2,196 km² national park and forming part of a 10,500 km² transfrontier conservation area, Mana Pools offers a sanctuary where wildlife roams freely and abundantly. From large herds of elephants and buffalo to elusive lions, wild dogs, and leopards, the photographic opportunities are as rich as the landscapes are dramatic.
Whether you're walking through Albida forests, exploring open floodplains, or tracking game along the river’s edge, every step reveals another chance to witness and document the wild like never before.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mana Pools is more than a destination—it’s a canvas for your creativity. Join us on this unforgettable photo safari and let the raw, untouched beauty of Africa ignite your passion for storytelling through the lens.
