{"product_id":"mana-pools-safari-lodge-97707","title":"Mana Pools Safari Lodge","description":"\u003cp\u003eMana Pools Safari Lodge sits near the eastern boundary of Mana Pools National Park in Zimbabwe's Mashonaland West Province, set among riverine fig trees and albida acacias on the floodplains above the Zambezi River. The lodge holds twelve thatched chalets, each built in wood, each with a verandah facing the floodplains and the river beyond. Inside, two double beds are oriented toward that view, and a free-standing bath sits alongside separate showers in the en-suite bathroom. Elephant, kudu, buffalo, wild dog, and lion come down the Ruckomechi River to drink in front of the lodge, which means game-watching from the deck is a reasonable way to spend an afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuided game drives run into the park through albida forest. Walking safaris access the more remote sections of the park on foot — the riverbanks here are known carmine bee-eater territory during season. Night drives, canoeing, boat cruises, and fishing on the Zambezi are also available. The lodge has a swimming pool, a bar, a restaurant serving communal dinners, and a spa offering massages beside the river.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne practical point worth noting: the lodge offers a boat transfer from Chirundu as an arrival option, travelling upstream along the Zambezi rather than arriving by road — a useful way to see the river corridor before you reach the camp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"phasec-create","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43808527220795,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/plekify.com\/products\/mana-pools-safari-lodge-97707","provider":"Plekify","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
