In Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe, African Bush Camps offer visitors a riverside experience with Zambezi Expeditions and/or an inland safari experience on a private concession at Kanga Camp.

Two of the luxury tents are Honeymoon suites or Family Units, with private dining and seating areas.

Other activities include night drives and canoeing organised on request.

The predators, including lion, wild dog and leopard are often sighted and large concentrations of buffalo can be found in the Mopane woodland and open plains studded with Ilala Palms. Kudu, zebra, impala and waterbuck can be seen on the surrounding plains. Elephant take advantage of the plentiful albida trees (Faidherbia albida – more commonly known as the Ana Tree or Winter Thorn) in the area. Bird watching is also a great attraction.
