For birding enthusiasts, our private concession at Mhara River Camp in Mana Pools National Park is a haven. With its pristine landscapes and diverse habitats, the area teems with avian life, offering an unforgettable experience for birdwatchers.
From riverine forests along the Chitake and Mhara rivers to the towering Rain Trees and ancient Baobabs, our concession’s varied habitats attract a stunning array of bird species. The dense forests are alive with rare finds like the elusive African Pitta, while the shade of Mahoganies and Sausage Trees provides a midday retreat for other vibrant species.
During the green season, Mana Pools bursts into life, creating a feast for migratory birds with an abundance of insects, frogs, and butterflies. The African Pitta, a seasonal visitor, has become a favorite sighting every year between mid-November and December. Even from your private patio, you can spot birds visiting the camp’s bird baths.
