Wilderness Ruckomechi Camp
Walking with wild dogs and canoe with elephants.
About the Lodge
Mana Pools National Park is one of Africa's most extraordinary and least-visited UNESCO World Heritage Sites — a floodplain ecosystem on the Zambezi River where the rules of the African bush feel different. Walking without a guide is permitted. Canoes are launched directly into the river alongside hippo and elephant. Wild dog packs hunt through camp. Ruckomechi Camp, operated by Wilderness Safaris on the banks of the Zambezi, is one of the finest ways to experience Mana Pools — a camp that feels genuinely wild without sacrificing the comforts of luxury.
