Nyamatusi holds a private stretch of Mana Pools’ UNESCO-listed floodplain — six suite-grade tents under albida trees, facing the Zambezi with Zambia’s escarpment as the horizon.

Mana is the walker’s park: this is where guests approach elephant on foot with the world’s best-licensed guides, canoe past hippo pods, and watch the famous bulls stand on hind legs for albida pods.

A note from the founders

Why book Nyamatusi Camp through NndeeAfrika

You never pay more than booking direct — usually less. And everything around your stay is handled.

01

A better rate, more journey

As a trade partner we access preferred rates and seasonal offers the camp doesn’t always publish — you’ll never pay more than booking direct. And a camp can only sell its own rooms; we build the journey around it: international flights, the right nights, and where you go next.

02

Door-to-door, no gaps

A private transfer waiting at Victoria Falls airport, connections timed to your route, and hosts who already know your name. Book direct and the gaps become your problem; book with us and there are none.

03

We know this camp personally

We know Mana’s floodplain rhythm — which months make the canoeing sublime and the walking safe-close — and how it completes a Falls-Hwange-Mana circuit.

04

One call if anything changes

A missed flight, a weather delay, a change of heart mid-trip — you contact one person, and we re-arrange everything behind the scenes. The camp looks after you on property; we look after the whole journey.
