One of the few places you can walk freely in big game country. Led by a top walking guide through riverine forests where elephants stand on hind legs for acacia pods and wild dogs. The journey begins and ends in Harare.

Day 1

Arrival & Orientation Walk

Arrive at Mana Pools, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned as Africa's most pristine wilderness. Meet your walking guide and settle into camp on the Zambezi's banks.

Day 2

Full Day Predator Tracking

Spend an entire day on foot tracking predators through Mana Pools' wilderness. Your guide reads the landscape for signs of lions, leopards, and painted dogs. Movement is slow and mindful, every track and bush scrutinized. Lunch is eaten under ancient albida trees, the shade and silence deepening your connection to this wild place.
