Ingwe Pan Camp

Ingwe Pan Camp is named after Ingwe Pan, located in the Wilderness Area of Mana Pools National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the largest pans in the region, it is well known for excellent leopard sightings and for the presence of shy antelope such as nyala, which move quietly through the nearby Jesse bush and the riverine thickets of the Chiruwe River.

The pan is surrounded by jackalberry and nyala berry trees, with a magnificent fig tree forming the heart of the landscape. Nearby baobab groves add to the rich diversity of this remarkable setting. Eight spacious Meru style tents are thoughtfully positioned along the southern edge of the pan, blending naturally into the environment.

Ingwe Pan Camp pairs beautifully with nearby river based camps, allowing guests to experience the full diversity of Mana Pools. From the Zambezi River to open floodplains and deep inland wilderness, this combination offers a truly immersive safari experience.

Wildlife viewing in the area is exceptional, both on foot and by vehicle. Guests can enjoy professionally guided walking safaris and game drives, with the added benefit of staying in a private concession. This ensures peaceful surroundings, excellent wildlife activity around the pan and breathtaking night skies free from the presence of other camps.

Notable sightings in this unique area include leopards, impressive male lions and, for the very lucky, the elusive brown hyaena. Wild dogs often visit the pan later in the season when they roam freely with their pups. At certain times of year, large herds of buffalo arrive as inland water sources dry up. Elephants are daily visitors, joined by kudu, impala, warthog and many other species.
