Directions to Kavinga Safari Camp

  • From Harare, drive 296km on the main Chirundu highway to Makuti. 
  • There are two toll gates along this main road, each charging USD2 for passenger vehicles - please ensure you have small USD change on you.
  • A recommended stopping place along the way is the butchery at Lions Den. They serve great egg & bacon and steak rolls.
  • 15km beyond Makuti, stop in at the National Parks’ office at Marongora and fill in your Park entry permit.
  • Persons travelling to Mana Pools must leave Marongora no later than 3.30pm.
  • 6.5km beyond Marongora, a gravel road turns to the right (just after the Tsetse Fly Control boom).  This is the first National Parks boom.
  • Turn in, submit your permit for verification at the boom, fill in the register for Kavinga and continue along this dirt road.
  • Please be aware that this is a very rough gravel road and due care must be taken. In some stretches it may be best to travel at only 15 km.
  • Continue for approx. 25.2km (you will pass by a large National Parks billboard & a sign to Rukomechi Tsetse Research Station).
