Mana Pools National Park
Mana Pools National Park has a split personality: its vast
expanse of flat land is dry and arid land becomes a broad expanse
of lakes after each rainy season, which lasts from November to
April. Animals follow the pools in search of water, and as the
lakes dry up it is one of the best places in the region to view
game like elephants, hippos, crocodiles and buffalo.
Manameans 'four' in Shona, and refers to four permanent
pools in the middle Zambezi that make up the UNESCO World Heritage
Site. Far from any human settlement, Mana Pools National park is a
great place to experience a truly wild Zimbabwe.
