About this place

Walking safaris from a remote spring. Chitake Springs Fly Camp sits in Mana Pools, walk among giants. The place is looked after by a resident team who know the area well and are happy to help with directions, firewood and local guides. Rooms are simple and well kept, with good beds and proper linen. Power is backed up so lights, Wi-Fi and fridges keep running during outages, and water comes from the property's own supply. Evenings are best spent outside by the fire.

The space

Bedrooms open onto a shared veranda. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, and there is covered seating outside for meals.

    Stayed September 2026, friends trip

    The view over the valley at sunrise is worth the early start. Bring warm clothes, the nights are properly cold in winter.

    Stayed August 2026, family trip

    Exactly as pictured. The road in is gravel for the last stretch but fine in a sedan if you take it slowly. We would come back for the veranda alone.

    Stayed November 2025, business trip

    We woke to elephants at the waterhole both mornings. Staff were warm and the cook made the best sadza and stew of our trip.
