Wilderness Ruckomechi

Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe

A safari stop within Zimbabwe wouldn’t be complete without visiting the Mana Pools National Park. This riverine belt is truly iconic, and what better way to explore it than at Wilderness Ruckomechi. Before we get into the accommodation, a real highlight of this camp are the elephants that come to snack on the nutritious albida trees that surround it. You will often find them between the rooms, main area and swimming pool.

There are 10 spacious suites including two family suites that have been thoughtfully designed to cater for all your needs. Mealtimes are a convivial affair with hearty menus ensuring you never go hungry – the pancake breakfast in the bush is one of our favorite occasions.

Amenities and Activities:

ROOMS: 10 spacious tents

BEST FOR: couples, honeymooners and families (one family suite)

ACTIVITIES:

Game Drives
Walking Safaris
Canoe Safaris
Star bed sleepout

WHY WE LOVE IT:

The starbed experience is an absolute must. It is a wonderful way to get closer to nature. Here you will spend a night under the stars on an elevated sleeping platform, near a busy waterhole – don’t worry, you will be safe and secure all night long. The lodge is also on a large private concession, providing a more exclusive safari experience with limited vehicles in sightings.
