Vundu Camp

 - Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe

Vundu Camp is camouflaged among a grove of ebony and tamarind trees, overlooking the flowing Zambezi River. Set in the heart of Mana Pools National Park, against the backdrop of the Zambezi Escarpment, it is perfect for wildlife-spotting.

The landscape of this area is made up of game-rich flood plains covered in ox-bow lakes and islands formed by the meandering river as it emerges from a deep gorge. These pools are surrounded by lush greenery which attracts animals to the region. After the rains, the flood plains become an extensive stretch of lakes whose water level declines again as the dry season approaches. The wildlife of the region is attracted to these lakes as it searches for water, making for excellent game-viewing opportunities, including large herds of elephant and buffalo and a wide variety of bird species.

Vundu Camp is a small, comfortable bush camp with a good reputation and seven spacious walk-in tents, including a family unit. Each room has a private en suite with a flushing toilet and a traditional bucket shower, and a beautiful view of the river and the surrounding mountains. The camp has the feel of an old-style safari camp and has plenty of charm.

Vundu Camp has large open living spaces and a bar, and you can dine around the roots of old tamarind and ebony trees in the dining room, which is on a sandy area overlooking the river.

Activities offered from Vundu Camp include game drives among the mopane trees, relaxed canoeing excursions, fishing and watching the sunset on the river. The flood plains and river channels of Mana Pools National Park are easily accessible to walkers and so walking safaris to explore the area and view the game there are a popular attraction.
