A timeless wilderness experience, bordering the Sapi Reserve lies a special geological site with dinosaur footprints from the Jurassic and Triassic periods (190 - 200 million years old). The idyllic riverine scenery with mountainous rocky outcrops and iconic Apple ring Acacia trees provides magnificent landscape photography and a dramatic backdrop to wildlife viewing. In 1984, the Sapi wildlife area along with Mana Pools were formed as a spectacular protected wilderness reserve encompassing a vast area just under 900,000 acres. With remarkable riverine forests, islands, floodplains and sandbanks the Sapi region offers diverse ecological interest. With Zimbabwe’s largest concentrations of crocodile and Hippo, the Sapi concession and Mana Pools are connected with the Lower Zambezi wilderness escarpment across the Zambezi river. With healthy populations of leopard, lion, zebra, elephant, buffalo, impala, cheetah and wild dog among other endangered species, the Sapi and Mana Pools are one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife regions.
