 YOUR TOUR IN DETAIL…
                 Johannesburg – Harare Airport / Mana Pools National Park
 DAY 1:
                 Intercamp Flight: Harare to Mana Pools [90-minute flight]
Meet and greet by a representative of eXplore Plus Travel & Tours at OR Tambo Airport at the SAA check-
in counter 2 hours before the scheduled departure time.
The package includes return economy airfare with SAA from Johannesburg to Harare Airport (departing at
10h30, arriving at 12h05).
Upon arrival in Harare, you will be met by our representative who will assist you to the light aircraft for
your flight to Dandawa Airstrip in Mana Pools National Park. The name itself, 'Mana', means four in local
Shona, and is a reference to the four large pools that the mighty Zambezi River carved out thousands of
years ago. Today, these pools are the reason for this being such a hailed safari destination, as they attract a
great amount of wildlife. You will be able to head out on an afternoon activity after settling into camp.
Overnight at Kanga Camp with lunch, dinner, breakfast and a selection of alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks
included.
