Hideaways Africa is delighted to announce a new addition to Mhara River Camp in Mana Pools National Park, the introduction of a purpose-built bird hide. Completed just two months ago and situated only 60 yards from the main camp area, this new feature offers guests an opportunity to connect more deeply with the wild landscapes that make Mana Pools so iconic.

A Camp Renowned for Birding

Mhara River Camp has long been celebrated for its exceptional birdlife, drawing enthusiasts from across the globe. The riverine woodlands, open floodplains, and rugged escarpments surrounding the camp provide habitats for a remarkable array of species. Guests may encounter everything from dazzling bee-eaters and the rare African pitta to impressive raptors circling overhead. With the new hide, these sightings can now be enjoyed at even closer range, offering unobstructed views and photographic opportunities unlike anywhere else in camp.

Wildlife Encounters Beyond Birds

Strategically positioned near a water source, the hide is designed not only for birdwatching but also for observing other wildlife. Over time, it is anticipated that leopards and other nocturnal animals will begin to use the area for evening visits, creating the chance for unforgettable after-dark photography. This adds an exciting new dimension to the Mhara River Camp experience, blending the thrill of big game encounters with the tranquillity of birding.

A Deeper Connection to Mana Pools

The bird hide is a natural extension of Mhara River Camp’s ethos: to provide immersive, authentic encounters with one of Africa’s last great wildernesses. By offering this quiet vantage point, guests are invited to slow down, tune into the rhythms of nature, and witness the wildlife of Mana Pools in its purest form.
