​

Kanga Camp is uniquely positioned in a remote, private concession deep within Mana Pools. What makes Kanga so special is its Kanga Pan, a permanent water source that draws wildlife year-round. From the comfort of the camp’s deck, you may observe elephants, wild dogs, antelope, and even big cats coming in to drink. Often referred to as “armchair safari,” it’s one of the few places where the wildlife truly comes to you.

• Photography: Capture dramatic wildlife moments and the changing colors of the bush with expert guidance available from the team.

​

Your next flight will depend on your onward travel plans:

​

• If returning home: Most international flights from Southern Africa connect through Johannesburg (JNB). We recommend Airlink Flight 105, departing Harare at 1:30 PM and arriving in Johannesburg at 3:15 PM.

  • From Johannesburg, flights to Europe (LHR, AMS, FRA, CDG, ZRH) and the USA (ATL, EWR, IAD) typically depart late at night, allowing ample time to connect.

  • If you have a long layover, we can recommend airport hotels for you to rest and freshen up.

• If continuing your journey elsewhere in Africa: Most regional routes also transit through Johannesburg. Let us know your next destination—we’re happy to assist with suggestions.

​

Thank you for choosing to travel with us. We hope this journey through the wild heart of Africa has been as inspiring as it was unforgettable.
