Hideaways Mhara River Camp
Hideaways Mhara River Camp is a low-footprint luxury tented camp in the remote southern section of Mana Pools, about 8km upstream from Chitake Spring, overlooking the dry Chitake riverbed. It was founded by Zimbabweans carrying 150-plus combined years of experience in the Zambezi Valley, with marketing and bookings handled through Hideaways Africa. TripAdvisor rates it 5/5, ranking #10 of 19 properties in Mana Pools from 25 reviews.
The camp offers 6 en-suite tents in a genuinely remote setting, well removed from the park's more visited northern floodplain.
Activities lean into the camp's Chitake location: guided walks to Chitake Gorge and Baobab Ridge, game drives, night drives, strong birding (over 400 species recorded), fly-camping, and dinosaur-footprint excursions to nearby Chewore — a distinctive, harder-to-replicate activity roster for clients wanting something beyond the standard Mana Pools circuit.
