Tembo Plains

In 1984, the Sapi wildlife area along with Mana Pools were formed as a spectacular protected wilderness reserve encompassing a vast area just under 900,000 acres. With remarkable riverine forests, islands, floodplains and sandbanks the Sapi region offers diverse ecological interest. With Zimbabwe’s largest concentrations of crocodile and Hippo, the Sapi concession and Mana Pools are connected with the Lower Zambezi wilderness escarpment across the Zambezi river. With healthy populations of leopard, lion, zebra, elephant, buffalo, impala, cheetah and wild dog among other endangered species, the Sapi and Mana Pools are one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife regions. There’s something about being at rest under the huge Fig trees spending the afternoon reading or watching Lillian’s lovebirds visit the spring.
