Set on the banks of the Zambezi River in the
Mana Pools National Park, with the mountains of
Zambia rising beyond, Ruckomechi and Little
Ruckomechi are two new camps from Wilderness
Safaris. River cruises, as well as game drives,
are part of the appeal here – as well as the
chance to fall asleep to the sound of hippos
honking in the nearby waters.

warthogs at the lodge’s
