Wilderness luxury in the heart of Africa

Nestled in the untamed beauty of Mana Pools National Park. This lodge offers an unparalleled safari experience with breathtaking wildlife encounters and unforgettable luxury.

Within Mana Pools National Park there are more pans to explore. This is best seen towards the end of the dry season from September through to the first rains of November or December.

The park has the country’s biggest concentration of hippo and crocodiles as well as large dry season mammal populations of elephant and buffalo. Spotted hyena, honey badger and many species of antelope are found here. Cheetah and African wild dogs are still present (though rare) and lions are fairly commonly sighted on game drives and walking safaris.

Rooms:Situated on the banks of Mashuma Pan, this luxury camp has six beautifully appointed tented suites, each with a private deck, en-suite bathroom and outdoor shower. Two villa-style tented suites comfortably accommodate up to four adults and include a private pool.

Location: A few kilometres inland from the Zambezi River, Molori Mashuma is in a tranquil spot on the edge of Mashuma Pan. Our luxury tented camp is perfectly positioned for game viewing and bird watching in absolute comfort. Guests can hope to see hippo, elephant, buffalo and a myriad of bird species in a peaceful setting in the game rich concession.

Amenities: The main lodge area features a 507m² outdoor deck which houses four seating areas, dining areas and a bar. This area also features a plunge pool overlooking the pan. The open-plan living areas focus on framing the views across the generous outdoor deck and plunge pool overlooking the pan.

Activities: Molori Mashuma provides an array of exhilarating activities for nature enthusiasts. Guests can embark on guided game drives, walking safaris, and canoe expeditions to explore the rich biodiversity of Mana Pools. Fishing excursions, bird watching, and stargazing sessions are also available, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the African wilderness.

Sustainability: The lodge is committed to responsible tourism and conservation efforts. Molori Mashuma employs eco-friendly practices, including solar power, water conservation, and waste management. The property actively supports local communities and wildlife conservation projects, ensuring that guests can enjoy their stay while contributing to the preservation of this pristine ecosystem.

February is the best time for birders. The days are warm, with the risk of afternoon rain showers, but they clear as fast as they arrive.

Expand

March

The world famous Mana Pools re-open in April. The days feel fresher as the wet season ends leaving the landscapes looking lush green, making it perfect for walking safaris.

May

In May, the days continue to feel fresh and bright making it a perfect time to venture out on walking safaris.

June

June heralds the return of winter, nights turn colder and the temperature dips - take plenty of layers as the temperature can drop below freezing. It is the perfect time for photographers to explore Hwange National Park before the busy holiday period.

Expand

July

Winter temperatures continue into July so take plenty of layers. Much like June, it is perfect for photographers looking to view wildlife from a different angle.

Expand

August

If you want clear, bright blue skies and continuous wildlife sightings, August is the month for you. Camps are likely to be fuller, however, if you visit private concessions you can still experience exclusivity and no crowds.

November

November is the best time to head out with expert guides and view resident and migratory bird species. The days are warm, with the risk of rain, this clears very fast as it arrives. It is low season and one of the best times to go white water rafting at Vic Falls, the volume and speed of the water is reduced exposing the rapids.

Expand

December

In December the days are warm with the risk of rain showers mid afternoon. The rivers rise and dependant on water levels travellers can visit 'devils pool' at Vic Falls, providing high excitement and a head for heights needed if you want to get close to the drop off.
