Mana Pools: Second Best African Safari Park of 2019
11 Jun 2019 at 04:24hrs | Views
SafariBookings.com, an online marketplace for African safaris, conducted its annual study to unequivocally determine the best African Safari parks of 2019. Serengeti National Park in Tanzania held onto first place (for the third time running), which was no surprise to safari enthusiasts.
However, for the first time a park in Zimbabwe, Mana Pools National Park – the mesmerizing park in northern Zimbabwe with the Zambezi River lazily winding its way around its northern border – climbed to number two in our top 50.
User reviews examined for this study rated Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe as the second-best park on the continent. But when user and industry expert reviews were both examined for an overall rating, it was Mana Pools that claimed second spot. Bush Vibe and Scenic Beauty were categories that Mana Pools rated particularly high in.
If political stability continues to grow and the economy improves the sky is the limit for Zimbabwe's many outstanding protected areas. Parks such as Hwange are quite unique too – it contains the largest mammal diversity in the world.
