NYAMATUSI CAMP

Located along the banks of the Zambezi River, Nyamatusi Camp offers a unique blend of elegance and adventure. An extraordinary destination where design, luxury accommodation, and exhilarating safari experiences converge in the pristine wilderness of Mana Pools.

Nestled within the magnificent wilderness of Mana Pools, Nyamatusi Camp boasts a design that seamlessly integrates with the natural landscape. The lodge is carefully positioned to offer breathtaking views of the Zambezi River and the surrounding floodplains. The main communal area features open-sided structures, thatched roofing, and elevated decks, providing guests with a sense of openness and connection to the environment. The camp's design is inspired by local materials and cultural elements, reflecting the rich heritage of Zimbabwe.

Every aspect of Nyamatusi Camp's design showcases meticulous attention to detail. The interiors are tastefully adorned with a fusion of contemporary and African-inspired decor, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury. Natural textures, earthy tones, and carefully chosen artwork reflect the surrounding wilderness and create a soothing and welcoming ambience. Comfortable seating areas, elegant furnishings, and soft lighting complete the overall design, ensuring a relaxed and unforgettable experience.

NYAMATUSI CAMP ACCOMMODATION

The main camp has six luxury tented ‘suites’ with uninterrupted views of the river and the Zambezi escarpment beyond - a vista revered by many who have visited this area.

Next door, the same camp is repeated, named Nyamatusi Mahogany and is set up for guests travelling with children or in a group and is family-friendly. Both lodge’s guest tents come decorated with soft drapery, curtains and ceilings to give a more suite feel, more than a tent.

Further, excellent additions include air-conditioning (a life-saver in the Mana Pools heat), indoor and outdoor showers, a private viewing deck with comfy seating, and a plunge pool. Charging points are within your guest tent for those all-important cameras and phones, with the latter serving only as a camera, as this area is a black hole for the world of cellular! Your Mana Pools safari follows the gentle ebb and flow of life on the river.

The main deck is separate, consisting of a beautifully constructed double level with an upstairs library, seating area and bar, and downstairs is the dining area with a fire pit, swimming pool and deck for star gazing. From here, you can marvel at the incredible sights and sounds of one of Africa’s last remaining wilderness hinterlands.

Experience the thrill of encountering elephants, lions, leopards, and a variety of other wildlife species in their natural habitat. Game drives are timed to coincide with the optimal viewing times, ensuring the best opportunities for wildlife sightings and photography.

Explore the Zambezi River and its channels with canoeing safaris, offering a tranquil and unique perspective of the wildlife-rich environment. Glide silently along the waterways, observing elephants, hippos, and a plethora of bird species. For fishing enthusiasts, Mana Pools offers excellent opportunities for catch-and-release fishing, allowing you to try your hand at landing the iconic tigerfish or bream.

Discover the beauty of Mana Pools on foot with guided walking safaris, allowing you to appreciate the smaller details of the ecosystem and get closer to the wildlife. Walking safaris provide a unique opportunity to learn about the flora and fauna of the area and gain a deeper understanding of the delicate balance of the ecosystem.

This was our 4th trip to Africa and by far the best ever. All the details were properly handled; we had not flight problems or delays and the service provided by Safari Guru was outstanding. I would recommend them, and have to friends and family. We will be going back to Africa with the outstanding Staff of Safari Guru.

We recently returned from Kenya, had a fabulous safari designed by Deon de Villiers of Safari Guru. We had some wonderful sightings and the whole thing went without a single hiccup. The guides were excellent. Deon was so helpful in allowing us to reschedule several times due to COVID restrictions preventing travel. We visited Sirikoi in the Lewa Conservancy and Serian Ngare, Serian Nkorombo and Mara Plains at Masai Mara, each place offering a different experience, each special in its own way. Loved the rhinocerous at Lewa, giraffe giving birth at Ngare, hippopotamus at Nkorombo and cats at Mara Plains, and so so much more. We highly recommend Deon and the Safari Guru team.

We finally got to take our Kenya/Rwanda adventure with Safari Guru post pandemic. Our trip was a fantastic experience that immersed us in Africa. The holiday went as planned, everything was organised so we were gently steered from place to place, which we enjoyed as we found we weren't "travel fit" after sitting on sidelines for two years! Our lodges in Kenya were beautiful, nice and small, felt like you were part of a family, rather than a customer! Rwanda was a highlight, an amazing country with a shocking past that is moving forward beautifully. The advice from Deon to do two gorilla walks was perfect. Our first day we hiked in to mountain and when we got there the heavens opened and it didn't stop! The scouts found 6 gorillas for us to glimpse as they were hiding from rain too! We trekked down in the mud, rivers of water ending up bedraggled! It was a great experience but the next day was perfect! Beautiful blue skies, trekked up and gorillas were everywhere, sunning themselves and eating vigorously. Was awesome being so close and they couldn't care less! Would highly recommend safari Guru, they planned us a perfect holiday and are easy to contact with queries and answer promptly. Travelling on our own was great as each place we stayed, there were like travellers from around the world to socialise with. Thanks Deon and Ashley

I was completely blown away with the service I received from Safari Guru. We had a most marvellous holiday in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Everything went extremely well and the Wilderness team were excellent in looking after us at each of their safari camps. Well done to Deon and Ashley, Morag Cotsell

Had an amazing experience working with Deon and Safari Guru. My wife and I went into this trip thinking of it as a once in a lifetime experience. Because of our experience we have another trip in mind to bring our children so they can have the same amazing experience that we had. Thank you Deon! We look forward to seeing you again!

Safari Guru organized us an amazing journey in Namibia for our wedding anniversary; it will be long lasting and marvelous memories for years! We also greatly appreciated the dedication and support of Safari Guru's team during these challenging times of the Covid pandemic as they had to re-arrange 2 times our trip initially planned for 2020. Thanks and kudos to Deon and all at Safari Guru!

Botswana! What an incredible destination as we begin to travel again. This is a trip of a lifetime. The game drives were exhilarating, the people are friendly, the food fantastic, and the accommodations are meant to spoil you. Our trip was beautifully planned and executed by Deon De Villiers and his team at Safari Guru. They have been to every camp they recommend and tailor your safari experience to you. What else could you ask for! We will travel with them again and highly recommend Safari Guru to plan your next trip!
