Nyamatusi Camp

Zambezi views

Safari sophistication meets the wild Zambezi at this luxury tented camp in Mana Pools National Park.

Located in a rugged and remote corner of Zimbabwe, you will find Nyamatusi Camp. Nyamatusi means ‘wild game’ and you will understand why as you follow the tracks of elephants on a walking safari or look for hippos on a thrilling canoe safari on the mighty Zambezi. With the Zambezi River on its doorstep, the sweeping views at Nyamatusi Camp are exquisite. There’s a real sense of seclusion here, and the elegant design is especially nostalgic of the wild setting that surrounds it. The camp sits right on the riverbank, and the main two-tiered lodge is indulgently open-plan. Throughout, soft neutral colours complement contemporary African furnishings, and each level includes an expansive viewing deck to maximise after-hours game viewing opportunities. There are just six elegant suites spread out along the riverfront. Each one is tented and luxurious, and the views are just superb. Designed with a sophisticated style in mind, the canvas tents are raised onto wooden decks and include fold-back screen doors and cosy indoor seating areas. At the rear, the bathrooms include an outdoor shower, and a couple indulge with a private bathtub. With the ultimate luxury in mind – especially for when the summer temperatures soar – the suites include a private deck with a plunge pool where you can cool off between your safari activities. Led by expert guides, morning and afternoon game drives explore this beautiful region where you may see lion, leopard, zebra, wildebeest and the rare roan antelope. Bird watchers will not be disappointed with over 380 species including scarlet carmine bee-eaters that nest in the riverbanks in the dry months.
