Amanzi Camp

Amanzi Camp is situated directly on the banks of the Zambezi. The name "Amanzi" means water in the local Tonga language. The intimate position with the Zambezi proves Amanzi is a fitting name.

The game drives are done with 4x4 vehicles seating a maximum 4 guests, and can be taken in the morning and afternoon. Enjoy the complimentary snacks while admiring the views and the variety of wild animals. From lazy lions, to buffalos, rhinos, and herds of elephant, to mention a few, let the experienced and knowledgeable guides teach you about their natural habitat, while giving you some truly picturesque moments to remember. 

Boat safaris and canoeing on the mighty Zambezi River are excellent for game viewing, with plenty of wildlife often seen on the banks of the river. Elephants are especially abundant at the waters edge, usually drinking and bathing – providing you with plenty of photo opportunities. End the day by watching the sun set with refreshing sun-downers in hand.

For the keen fishermen, late August to mid November is the best time to fish on the Zambezi River - although the tiger fish and other species can be caught throughout the safari season.

There are 4 traditional safari tents, approximately 500 sq ft in size, positioned on a raised wooden deck. The tents are generously spaced allowing the game to wonder around the camp freely. All tents have either 2 teak double beds or 1 king-sized bed placed within a well designed mosquito net, and are connected with a raised walkway to the main area.

There is also a family unit which is essentially 2 of the tents back to back allowing for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom family tent perfect for groups with young children. It also includes a spacious sitting area and a private wooden deck with a stunning view of the Ngwenya Channel.

The camp is intimate yet private. The main area has a swimming pool, deck area, lounge and bar, all of which offers stunning views of the mosaic of islands that are home to a group of majestic elephant bulls.
