Mana Pools National Park as a destination offers up a choice of safari lodges and 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.
