Vundu Camp
Vundu Camp is a small tented bush lodge set in thick riverine woodland on the banks of the Zambezi River in the exclusive western side of Mana Pools National Park.
Vundu Camp is one of the few genuine ‘owner run’ camps left in Africa and will appeal to wildlife enthusiasts who wish to enjoy an in depth bush experience with great guiding and the chance to explore on foot. The camp itself is very comfortable while retaining an authentic bush feel. Owner Nick Murray is also passionate about wild dogs and has assisted wild dog research in Mana Pools for many years, so anyone with a special interest in these engaging predators would find it interesting to spend time with him. The ethos of the camp is to provide comfortable accommodation and good food, combined with a first class safari experience, and while Nick is not always in camp, the management team and professional guides provide personal hospitality and superb guiding.
