Nyamatusi Mahogany

Mana Pools - Zimbabwe

Exclusivity for families

Nyamatusi Mahogany, is the perfect luxury safari experience for families. Consisting of just a handful of stylish tented suites nestled under ancient mahogany trees on the lush shores of the mighty Zambezi River, it has been designed with exclusivity and serenity in mind.

The camp’s bespoke design embodies the style and serenity of its pristine surrounds. Set under elegant canvas, accommodation comprises just two tented suites and two family suites. The lounge, dining room, fire circle, plunge pool, and elevated viewing decks flaunt uninterrupted views of the glittering river, teeming floodplain, and dramatic escarpment beyond. Solar‐powered and built from all‐natural materials, the entire experience is powered by nature.

Set within a private concession in Mana Pools National Park, guests can expect the utmost flexibility in activities. Given the impressive wildlife concentrations, thrilling extravaganzas often unfold on game drives or when heading out on a birding safari. Those over the age of sixteen can experience the majesty of the wilderness while canoeing down the Zambezi River and fishing on the river banks (catch and release only). For younger family members, a wide range of tailor made activities are on offer with specialist guides.

Mana Pools is known as one of the last pioneer parks lying in the great African Rift valley and this very special camp provides an explorer’s paradise for safari goers of all ages.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

Julia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.
