Situated on the western boundary of Mana Pools National Park, Little Ruckomechi Camp lies on the banks of the Zambezi, shaded by a large grove of iconic albida trees. The camp’s location within the private Ruckomechi Concession ensures an exclusive safari experience complete with a diverse range of activities through which to explore Mana, one of the great wildlife areas of Africa.
Built on wooden decks, the handsome en-suite tents are airy and elegant; a reminder of the by-gone explorer era. The living spaces include a dining room and lounge as well as a plunge pool all looking out over the great Zambezi River and the Zambian foothills in the distance.
The area is renowned for large numbers of elephant, buffalo, hippo and eland, especially in the winter when they concentrate along the river. Activities include wildlife viewing in open 4x4 vehicles, on motorised pontoon boats, on foot and in canoes.
