Meru style tents
Six meru styled tents over-look the floodplain at Mana Pools so offer gorgeous views from all angles. Each of the tents have en-suite bathrooms and an overhanging safari-styled bucket shower, you really do get a sense of being in the heart of the bush. The tents are small, simple but offer an authentic and personal safari feel. Each spaced out so offer privacy to those staying, and with just 12 beds this is a wonderful place to enjoy an intimate safari experience.
Walking safaris
There is no better way to explore the bush than on foot, and here in Mana Pools with the relaxed atmosphere and the wildlife around you will be sure to have some incredibly special and memorable encounters. The guides are well trained and professional, so you are in good hands, they have a reputation for walking safaris so if you wish to enjoy this special activity then make sure you get one booked in at Johns Camp when visiting.
Bush Lunches
This is such a wonderful treat and a lovely addition to your stay at John’s Camp. Delicious meals are prepared in the main camp and then taken over to an area within the park where the team will set up everything for you. Dine in breath-taking settings, overlooking the Zambezi River or over the floodplain itself. Surrounded by the wilderness, lots of birdlife around and you never know who or what you may encounter, a rustic 5* dining experience right in the middle of the African bush.
The price categories give you an idea of the nightly cost per person for this accommodation.

Amazing Experience at John’s Camp
We stayed at John’s Camp for 4 nights at the end of our 3-week long safari. Staying exclusively with Robin Pope Safaris, we picked John’s Camp in Mana Pools to be our final stop. This was our first time at John’s Camp and it exceeded our expectations. John’s Camp is the perfect combination of adventure and comfort. The camp holds a real authentic camping safari vibe.

Bush camp extraordinare
Spent 4 nights at John’s Camp where we experienced staff and management whose relationship was well beyond employer and employee. Milo, our host, was engaging and organised – nothing fazed him. The bush camp experience is like not other and the lack of wi fi is a huge bonus and has you living in the moment! The accommodation was luxurious with lots of small touches not often thought of in bigger camps.
