The camp is frequently visited by lone or small families of elephants, each of whom will slowly seek and feed from the seeds from the trees above it. In addition to the visiting elephants, the area is simply a safari enthusiasts' dream. Famed for African wild dogs, Mana Pools has an abundance of lions, leopards, hyenas, buffaloes, and a range of antelope; all visit the camp and the water's edge. Birds, such as the colourful carmine bee-eaters, nest on the riverbanks, and fish-eagles and vultures circle the skies.

The area is explored by vehicle or on foot. It offers access to the extensive private concession and the Mana Pools National Park, covering many diverse habitats and, therefore, a wide range of wildlife. For the adventurous canoeing in the Zambezi with a professional Zim Pro canoe guide is magical. But with the sheer numbers of hippos and infestation of crocs may lead you more toward a larger water vehicle! As the camp is outside of the national park, it offers the plus of the relative safety of motorboat cruises down this awe-inspiring river and the massive plus of tigerfish fishing (catch and release) in the Zambezi (both of which are prohibited from the camps in the national park). Any trip onto the Zambezi offers the opportunity of seeing the large numbers of waterbirds and coming eye-to-eye with the other wildlife that are attracted to the Zambezi.
