Exploring Mana Pools with Robin

Mashuma has been built and managed by the same amazing team who brought us Malori Madikwe, part of the Rora Collection.

The 5-Star Molori Mshuma is built on a private concession overlooking the Mashuma Pan, just a few kilometers from the Zambezi River. It is a magnet for wildlife in the open surrounding grasslands, including Nic the resident bull elephant who happily pays a regular visit to the lodge to keep an eye on proceedings. It is a beautiful, tented camp boasting an aesthetic that blends local elements with chic designer furnishings. There are two, 2-bedroom family units and then four individual tented units all overlooking the water-filled pan. With an impressive solar power installation, it is completely off the grid.

The lodge boasts a variety of dining areas, a one-of-a-kind BBQ Pod for an interactive evening, the Boma, the open-air deck, bush breakfast on the banks of the Zambezi River, and a bush dinner or sundowners overlooking an ancient Baobab Tree and the mountains in the distance.

It is for those travellers seeking authenticity, the real deal, unspoilt Africa Wilderness, birders, and photographers. Here you won’t find the Big Five around every corner (they don’t offer Rhino and Giraffe), but you will find ancient Baobabs, herds of elephants, crocs, hippos, and totally unspoiled night skies for star gazing.

For birders, this destination has over 380 recorded bird species, spread across more than three different habitats from woodlands to plateaus and savannah areas. Keep an eye out for the African skimmer, Pel’s fishing owl and Lilian’s lovebird among others.

Combine with Victoria Falls, Hwange, and further afield to Botswana or Zambia

With its unique blend of diverse ecosystems, abundant wildlife, and riverine frontage you will embark on an exploration of a pristine natural wonderland where the rhythms of the wild and the whispers of the ancient trees await your discovery.
