Eric Ichikowitz, co-owner of Molori Mashuma, expresses his enthusiasm, saying, “Mana Pools is one of the few UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Southern Africa, and once you’ve visited it, you can clearly understand why – its unique biodiversity and wildlife experience is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in all the years I’ve spent in the bush.”
Ideal for an immersive safari experience, Molori Mashuma complements its sister lodge, Molori Safari, providing guests with a seamless transition between two exceptional destinations. Open seasonally from April to October, Molori Mashuma promises unparalleled adventures amidst the natural splendour of Mana Pools.
