Molori Mashuma

Molori Mashuma occupies a private concession inside Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Zimbabwe. The drive from the Zambezi River takes roughly forty minutes, placing the camp well into the woodland interior. Six air-conditioned tented suites are arranged to face Mashuma Pan — a natural waterhole where elephant, hippo and buffalo come to drink within clear sight of the main deck.

Four suites are built for two guests. Each covers one hundred and fifty square metres and includes a single bedroom, lounge, private deck, a free-standing ball-and-claw bathtub with bush views, an indoor shower and an open-air shower. The two larger suites are designed for families or groups: at three hundred and eight square metres, each has two identical bedrooms, a shared living area and a deck of one hundred and ninety-two square metres leading to a private plunge pool.

The main lodge faces the pan and has a swimming pool, bar, restaurant, wine pod and three lounge areas. Activities include game drives, guided walks, canoeing, fishing and birdwatching. The proximity of the pan, the four pools that give Mana Pools its name, the Zambezi and the surrounding woodland means four distinct habitats are accessible from the same base. The camp is a sister property to Molori Safari, which operates in South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve.
