Wilderness Safaris will open a new intimate camp in Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe, on July 1, and is also rebuilding its Ruckomechi Camp in the same concession, which is due to re-open on May 1.
The new, smaller camp, Little Ruckomechi, will have three tented suites on wooden decks and will include a dining room, lounge and plunge pool overlooking the Zambezi River. An additional tent for private guide accommodation can also be used for sole-use bookings.

Ruckomechi Camp will be revamped and will have eight new tented suites opening by May 1 and two family suites opening August 1, totalling 20 tents. Activities at both camps will include game drives, boating, nature walks, canoeing and catch-and-release fishing.
“We are extremely proud of our continued commitment to pioneering sustainable ecotourism in Zimbabwe and are equally excited to announce our plans for Ruckomechi and Little Ruckomechi in order to promote this incredible destination to more guests. Our private concession in Mana Pools offers a truly extraordinary wilderness experience and we are looking forward to building the camps in an understated way to ensure they retain the authentic and nostalgic safari feel that is synonymous with Ruckomechi,” said Wilderness Safaris Zambezi MD, Ron Goatley.
