Things to see in Zimbabwe: Mana Pools National Park
This UNESCO World Heritage Site beside the languid Zambezi has fine views towards Zambia's Lower Zambezi National Park and the Rift Valley escarpment. Its riverine woodland and open plains contain a great variety of wildlife, including large numbers of elephant that relish the numerous winterthorn trees.
The area is famed as one of southern Africa's best destinations for walking and canoe safaris, and offers a secluded experience with spectacular views, particularly at sunset, of the river and its wide floodplain.
