Wilderness Ruckomechi

Wilderness Ruckomechi is a stunning tented camp located in a private concession on the western edge of Mana Pools National Park.

This exclusive, secluded setting offers breathtaking views from the central dining and lounge area, looking out over the game-rich Zambezi River and the Rift Valley Escarpment beyond. Elephants frequently visit the camp, drawn to the pods of albida trees scattered around the decked pool area, while African wild dogs and a variety of antelope are often seen roaming the surrounding plains.

The family suites are thoughtfully designed with spacious interiors and private ensuite facilities, ensuring that both parents and children have room to relax. For families with a taste for adventure, Ruckomechi offers an array of activities that cater to all ages. Guided game drives in open Land Rovers provide the chance to spot everything from cheetahs and leopards to a remarkable variety of birdlife, including local specialties like the collared palm-thrush and racket-tailed roller. 

Guided walking safaris and canoeing add an extra layer of thrill, allowing families to experience wildlife encounters up close. When it’s time to unwind, the camp’s stargazing deck and riverside bathtub offer perfect spots to immerse yourself in the natural surroundings. 

With its solar-powered facilities and commitment to low environmental impact, Ruckomechi offers an unforgettable safari while preserving the UNESCO World Heritage status of Mana Pools, making it an ideal choice for a family-friendly luxury retreat in Zimbabwe.
