Why families love it
Chikwenya for families
Two dedicated family rooms provide ample space for multigenerational groups staying within the Mana Pools concession. The lodge welcomes children from the age of six, and the use of a private vehicle for younger guests ensures your safari schedule can be tailored to their needs. Between game drives, the swimming pool offers a welcome respite for all.
