À vivre

Little Ruckomechi is nestled within the private concession of the same name, on the western boundary of Mana Pools National Park. In the shade of a grove of trees favoured by elephants, it is a secluded spot, both exclusive and intimate, offering spectacular views over the Zambezi River and the Rift Valley escarpment.

Layout

Little Ruckomechi has just three tents (or four for private bookings), each spacious and comfortable, evoking the romance of a bygone era of exploration. With views over the Zambezi, the open-plan main areas allow guests to watch elephants feeding on the floodplain, with the Rift Valley escarpment rising on the far bank as a backdrop.
The tents are furnished with sophisticated decor and subtle ethnic touches for an authentic feel.

Alongside its 3 tents, Little Ruckomechi offers a shared space with dining area, bar, lounge and a small pool with a magnificent view over the Zambezi River.
In the evening, settle onto the terrace, ideally positioned for stargazing.

The camp runs entirely on solar-generated electricity.

Rooms

The three (or four for private bookings) tents evoke the romance of a bygone era of exploration. With views over the Zambezi, the open main areas allow guests to watch elephants feeding on the floodplain, with the escarpment of the Rift Valley forming a backdrop on the far side of the river.

Activities offered

To make the most of your wildlife encounters, the camp offers a wide range of activities: day and night 4x4 safaris and walking safaris, with the chance of spotting buffalo, elephants, lions, African wild dogs, leopards, cheetahs, and carmine bee-eaters.

On the Zambezi, canoeing and boat trips are also available.

Along with Sapi (on the eastern edge of Mana Pools National Park), this is the only place where boat safaris are possible, as this activity is not permitted within Mana Pools National Park itself.
