About Little Vundu Camp

Intimate, authentic tented camp with prime river frontage in Mana Pools.
Slightly more rustic, Little Vundu is three kilometres upstream from Vundu main camp. It has recently undergone a complete refurbishment, but the real luxury here is its intimacy. Adding to this is the exciting range of activities on offer and the excellent standard of guiding you'll receive. And then there's the setting - right on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River in the centre of Zimbabwe's exquisite Mana Pools National Park. The up-close, personal experience of wildlife and wilderness you'll have here makes it one of the best options in the region.

Property details

The property

The main area at Little Vundu is separated from the tents by a narrow channel of the Zambezi, crossed by a small foot bridge. It's a simple pole and canvas structure that basically contains a dining table and chairs. Breakfasts and lunches are served here while dinners are set out beneath the stars. Although simple, it has a great view and is a superb spot to relax and enjoy a drink while watching the profusion of wildlife around you.

The rooms

There are five new canvas and mesh Meru-style tents, each measuring 30m². They are simple in their design but suitably comfortable. Each has its own outside seating area and a large ensuite outdoor bathroom with a shower and other necessities. The bedrooms have twin beds covered by mosquito nets and superb views of the river. They are brilliantly positioned to make the most of the animal traffic through the area and you're likely to receive at least one visit from an elephant during your stay.

Activities

If you're looking to rub noses (or trunks) with an elephant or be incorporated into the local wild dog pack, this is the camp for you. The personal, professional guiding is flexible which means you can really do things as you like, however, it's prudent to follow your guide's lead as they have a knack for finding the action. Be it on a game drive (which frequently turns into a walk - in order to follow tracks or approach an animal on foot) or on a canoe, or a full morning's hike through the woodlands, you're guaranteed plenty of adventure and rewarding game viewing.
