Why we love it
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.
Venture out in a safari vehicle to both the private concession and the national park in search of an abundance of wildlife.
With the option of pontoons, speed boats and canoes, cruise down the Zambezi River and catch sightings of wildlife and waterbirds.
Follow your guide into the remote wilderness of Mana Pools National Park for exciting close up sightings of beautiful wildlife.
Home to the likes of tigerfish, catfish and bream, keen fishermen are encouraged to go catch-and-release fishing in the Mana Pools
This is an exclusive opportunity to hear nature's beautiful melody whilst gazing up at the starry sky from your star bed.
A paradise for keen birders, have your binoculars at the ready to spot the profusion of beautiful species such as Lilian's lovebird.

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.
