Stretch Ferreira Safaris Tented Camp is on the floodplain in Mana Pool National Park, on the banks of the Zambezi River.   

Previously known as Goliath Tented Camp until a re-brand to Stretch Ferreira Safaris Tented Camp.  All walking safaris are conducted from this authentic camp and personally guided by Stretch Ferreira, one of Africa’s most renowned and experienced guides. Stretch is a legend with more than 30 years experience of guiding in Mana Pools and he will show it to you in his own inimitable way. Crawl with him amongst the inquisitive wild dog puppies, track the local lion pride and sit with him as he introduces you to his favourite elephant bulls – pure adrenalin rush!

All safaris are tailor-made to suit the guests in camp. There are no set routines, only wish-lists fulfilled. The camp sleeps a maximum of 14 guests in seven twin-bedded East African tents with ensuite facilities, all nestled amongst the trees on the banks of the Zambezi River.  Lounge, bar and dining room are open-air on the banks of the river.  Delicious 3 course dinners are served incorporating lovely organic vegetables from Stretch’s own organic garden with imported wines, lunches are a casual affair and sometimes served in the bush at a pan.

Activities include game drives, walks, canoeing and fishing.

African skimmers are also migrants at that time of year.
