Exclusive Riverfront Luxury in Wild Mana Pools

Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe

Loosely translated, Nyamatusi means “wild game,” a fitting tribute to its remote setting within one of Zimbabwe’s most untamed wilderness areas, Mana Pools National Park. Set along the banks of the Zambezi River, this refined camp combines striking design with a deep connection to its natural surroundings.

With only six tented suites hosting a maximum of 12 guests, Nyamatusi delivers a truly exclusive experience. Each suite offers uninterrupted river views and features air conditioning, a mini bar, indoor and outdoor showers, a private viewing deck and a plunge pool.

The main areas include a traditional boma for open air dining, a boutique store, wine cellar, pizza oven and a swimming pool overlooking the river. Despite its remote location, the camp balances modern comfort with thoughtful, eco conscious design using natural materials that blend seamlessly into the landscape.

Why We Love Nyamatusi Camp

Nyamatusi’s intimacy is one of its greatest strengths. With just six suites, guiding is highly personalised and sightings feel uncrowded and immersive.

Mana Pools is renowned for its exceptional walking safaris, particularly close encounters with elephant and other big game along the Zambezi floodplains. Pair that with river based activities and thoughtful contemporary design, and Nyamatusi offers a safari that feels both adventurous and refined.
