Rooms
The six suites of Nyamatusi Camp are modern tent pavilions that skillfully combine lightness, aesthetics, and comfort. Each tent features a spacious bedroom with a king-size bed, an elegant bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers, as well as a private terrace with a small pool – perfect for cooling off after a game drive. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the expanse of the Zambezi inside, while natural materials and harmonious colors create a warm, calming atmosphere. Air conditioning, a lounge area, a minibar, and plenty of privacy make each suite an exclusive retreat.
Culinary
At Nyamatusi Camp, dining becomes an experience – fresh, creative, and lovingly prepared. The cuisine combines African flavors with international influences, served in a relaxed atmosphere: sometimes on the pool deck with a view of the river, sometimes in the romantically lit dining tent. Picnic in the bush or dinner under the starry sky – every moment here is special. All meals, snacks, and drinks (including wine and local spirits) are included. Individual requests or preferences are happily accommodated.
Activities
Nyamatusi Camp offers an intense nature experience – whether on game drives in open safari vehicles, on guided walking safaris, or silent canoe trips on the Zambezi. Mana Pools is known for its high density of wildlife, especially elephants, lions, leopards, and wild dogs. Birdwatching is also first-class here. The experienced guides from African Bush Camps tailor each activity to individual preferences – depending on the season, interests, and weather. For the adventurous, there is the opportunity to be on the water or on foot, always with the highest safety and experience factor. Thus, every safari becomes a profound encounter with the wilderness.
Location
The Nyamatusi Camp is located in one of the most remote regions of Mana Pools National Park, directly on the banks of the Zambezi. The location is spectacular – overlooking the floodplain, where elephants, antelopes, and hippos regularly appear. Mana Pools National Park is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered one of the wildest and most original parks in Africa. Access is by small plane followed by a vehicle transfer. Due to the secluded location, guests enjoy absolute tranquility, undisturbed wildlife observation, and a safari experience far from the crowds – wild, exclusive, and deeply connected to nature.
