Is the Wilderness Ruckomechi for Me?

Situated in a large private concession in the heart of the Zambezi Valley’s Mana Pools National Park, Wilderness Ruckomechi looks out from the banks of the mighty Zambezi River.

It is a remote, picturesque place with spectacular views of the broad flowing river, the adjacent woodland and the mountains of the Rift Valley escarpment.

Ten spacious and beautifully decorated en-suite tents, including two family rooms, lie beneath the ana trees, best-beloved of local elephant for their nutritious seeds.

The camp’s central living space includes an inviting fire pit for pleasant evenings beneath the African night skies.

Other unique features include a pool which overlooks a broad sweep of river, an outdoor “bath with a view” in a secluded, scenic spot, and a romantic Star Bed by a busy waterhole.

Open 4×4 vehicles, motorised pontoon boats, canoes and good old safari boots facilitate the wildlife viewing.

Wilderness Ruckomechi is open throughout the dry (winter) season.

INSIDER’S TIP: A boat cruise along the mighty Zambezi is a wonderful way to see wildlife and waterbirds from a different perspective.

For the more adventurous – there’s the option of canoeing along this famous river!
