Other general game is very abundant in the Park. Activities on offer include daily game activities including game drives in open 4x4 vehicles or guided walks in the early mornings and evenings.

Day 6

Mana Pools

Day 6 - 8: Today you will be flown by light aircraft to Mana Pools National Park. At approximately 2pm your guide will meet you for a safety briefing before all canoeists start paddling downstream in sturdy Canadian canoes to the mobile camp. After a relatively easy distance of 10 to 11 kilometres you will arrive at the camp which will already have been set up for you. On the 2 days that follow you will be awoken before dawn with tea/coffee and biscuits in order to get onto the water before sunrise. This is a truly magical time on the river as it is usually calm and peaceful. After paddling for 2 hours the canoes will be beached on the river banks and you will get out on foot for a walking safari. Lunch is normally had a bit further up the river and normally consists of cold meats and salad. It is then time to relax in the shade before the last bit of canoeing takes you to your campsite for the evening. Everything will all have been set up for you by the camp staff and all you have to do is have a shower and enjoy dinner and drinks under the stars. The daily distances covered from one camp to the next are around 20 to 25 kilometres and the daily routine will vary according to wildlife movement. 3x nights at Mana Pools National Park Mahlatini recommends the following accommodation: Mana Canoe Trail (AI)(All Inclusive + Activities) - See more accommodation options in Mana Pools National Park
