Discover Little Ruckomechi Camp

Little Ruckomechi Camp lies in the heart of the Zambezi Valley in the Mana Pools National Park. It is a remote and beautiful place offering spectacular views. This intimate camp offers opportunities to get up close to nature amongst the iconic albida trees that characterise the area. Situated within the private Ruckomechi Concession, the camp ensures an exclusive safari experience through a diverse range of activities from boating and canoeing to walking and game drives.

Little Ruckomech is a 'home from home' experience offering an authentic, stylish bush camp feel. Built on wooden decks, the 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.
