INFORMATION
Boat Hire
One of the most distinctive things we offer at Kelly's Camp — open to day visitors and overnight guests alike. You don't need to be staying with us to get out on the river.
Mana Pools
The Zambezi from the water
The Zambezi at Mana Pools is unlike anywhere else. From the water, you see the floodplains, the wildlife, and the light in a way that's simply not possible from the bank. Whether you're here to fish, to watch game, or simply to drift — the river changes everything.
Open to day visitors — pre-booking essential.
