    Continue by light aircraft to Chikwenya, positioned at the confluence of the Sapi and Zambezi Rivers on the eastern boundary of Mana Pools. Here, vast floodplains, riverine forests and the Zambezi create an extraordinary setting for walking, boating, canoeing and game drives, with Mana Pools renowned for its elephant, buffalo, hippo and predator populations.

The park is home to an impressive variety of wildlife, including elephant, buffalo, lion, hippo and crocodile, while the lake provides exceptional opportunities for boat-based safari experiences.
