Wildlife sightings on game drives, canoeing and walking safaris include; hippopotamus, crocodiles, zebra, elephant, Cape buffalo, lion, cheetah, Cape wild dog, leopard and brown hyena. Mana Pools' birding in the summertime is equally spectacular.

Mana Pools safari activities include morning, afternoon or full-day game drives, canoeing adventures, and of course, those amazing Mana Pools walking safaris.

Mana Pools National Park as a destination offers up a choice of safari lodges and safari camps either located on the Zambezi River or slightly more inland. The difference between the two options mainly boils down to pricing, with the riverfront properties being more expensive. The wildlife sightings between the two options are +- the same, as one will transverse both regions on game drives.
