Stay at Ruckomechi Camp

Ruckomechi is a 24-bed camp set in the heart of an 18 square mile concession which adjoins Mana Pools National Park, which is one of Zimbabwe’s leading safari destinations, offering visitors a chance to see elephant, buffalo, leopard and lion in one of the continent’s last great wildernesses, all while staying in supreme comfort.

Twelve spacious tents (including two family units), along with a generous main space, enjoy the broad vista of the Zambezi River. There is a separate pool area, a unique outdoor bath with a view in a secluded, scenic spot and a Star Bed located close by to the camp which overlooks the river and bush.

Jen & George

We were bundled into a vehicle and dashed off to see a leopard within the first 30 minutes of arriving; it was an AWESOME start. Our guide completely made the entire experience. He was an exceptional birder and his best party trick was to point out the bird and then tell us the exact page we could find it in our book. We combined Zimbabwe with Mozambique, and our beach hotel felt like a complete hidden gem. The sand is like ‘moon dust’ and the hospitality and food were fantastic.
