Discover a legendary camp called Ruckomechi Camp in the magic of Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park – such a special place that evokes some of the most intense feelings you will ever experience in nature. Feel awed in the privileged company of pro guides on walking and canoe safaris at Ruckomechi.
Whether it is peace, exhilaration or anticipation, the emotional ride will leave you rejuvenated and enlightened. Spend lazy afternoons sprawled in a hammock or escape to the comfort of your tented chalet where contemporary mod cons await. Ruckomechi rustic chic tented accommodation suits couples and families who favour an off the beaten track holiday in Africa but still appreciate large beds, hot showers and plenty of pampered privacy.
Tastefully decorated, each of the 10 tented cabins boasts ethnic modern furnishings, large sleeping areas, welcoming indoor and outdoor showers and the main attraction being the bath with a view on the secluded banks of the Zambezi River where hippos grunt and birds fly. Relax here in a bubble bath after a long and exciting game drive then meet fellow guests on the main deck, the hub of this beautiful Ruckomechi safari camp in Mana Pools.
Read a book in the library and sip a nightcap on a soft couch in the lounge area. All main areas are connected with neat wooden boardwalks facing the Zambezi escarpment. The swimming pool is a true highlight with honeymoon couples and children alike, an infinity-style plunge pool with a deck and chill out hammocks for the afternoon lull.
Open 4×4 vehicles, motorised pontoon boats, canoes and good old safari boots facilitate the wildlife viewing. Ruckomechi is open throughout the dry (winter) season when game viewing is rich and vegetation sparser.
Located in the legendary Mana Pools National Park, Ruckomechi enjoys astounding views across the Zambezi to the towering escarpment on the Zambian side of the river. Albida trees provide both shade and seed pods that are beloved of elephants, meaning that these charismatic creatures are never far away.
