Vundu Camp
Vundu Camp is situated in the heart of the Mana Pools National Park along the banks of the great Zambezi River. Mana was rated in 2009 as the 4th most beautiful Park in the world by National Geographic. The camp itself is nestled amongst a grove of beautiful riverine forest, including trees such as huge old Zambezi figs, ebonies, raintrees, wild mangoes and tamarinds.
Vundu Camp comprises seven canvas under thatch chalets. One is a family room with four beds and one is a honeymoon suite, the others are large spacious rooms with twin beds. There is a beautiful pan behind the camp with a tree stand for sitting, relaxing and watching the game come down to drink (the pan dries up towards the end of the year). All the rooms and the main lodge have a view of the Zambezi River, being on average about ten meters from the bank.
A typical day at Vundu is started with a cup of coffee and a light breakfast before heading out in the Land Rover. Vehicles are used to get to a predestined area for a walk, or until your guide finds fresh tracks of something interesting which you can follow on foot; maybe lions, wild dogs, a large herd of buffalo or walk up to some of the big old elephant bulls which Mana is so well known for. After morning activities you head back to Vundu for lunch, followed by a short siesta. Afternoon tea is followed by canoeing on the river for those who choose to, or another walk/drive. Canoeing is certainly a highlight as it is a unique activity and not many Parks offer the opportunity, especially not with the abundance of wildlife as in Mana.
Vundu Camp is suited to those guests looking for that extra bit of adventure or to those who want a more relaxing time. The guides at Vundu have many years experience and you will be well looked after both in the bush and in camp.
The owners of Vundu, Bushlife Safaris, also run Little Vundu Camp, located 3km upstream from main Vundu and providing a traditional tented safari experience. Other options offered by Bushlife are Chitake Mobile Tented Camp and the Ruwesi Canoe Trail. Please ask us for further details.
