Ruckomechi Camp

Whether it is peace, exhilaration or anticipation, Ruckomechi Camp will leave you rejuvenated and enlightened. Spend lazy afternoons sprawled in a hammock or escape to the comfort of your tented chalet on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. Ruckomechi offers rustic chic tented accommodation for travellers who favor 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 Ruckomechi Camp 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 Ruckomechi – this beautiful  safari camp in Mana Pools. 

Open 4×4 vehicles, motorized pontoon boats, canoes and good old safari boots facilitate the wildlife viewing. Ruckomechi Camp is open throughout the dry (winter) season when game viewing is rich and vegetation sparser. 

Located in the legendary Mana Pools National Park, Ruckomechi Zimbabwe 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.

Find this unique tented getaway in the wilderness, on the western boundary of Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park in a private concession. Ruckomechi Mana Pools is tucked under an astonishing shady grove of Acacia and Mahogany trees right on the banks of the meandering Zambezi River. 

Picture superb panoramas of the mountains of Africa’s Great Rift Valley in the distance, where visitors are treated to a spectacular combination of charming beauty and exceptional game viewing.

Cleverly designed with tasteful modern ethnic furnishings and décor, each room is like its own work of art. Enjoy the ingenious ‘bath-with-a-view’ hides in a sheltered, fairy tale spot on the banks of the Zambezi river where birds sing and dance. 

Chose this Zimbabwe safari camp in Mana Pools for some of the best game viewing in Africa! Hammocks are the place to be, beside the infinity pool, after a fun morning out canoeing or game driving.
