We had an amazing time tiger fishing and game viewing which was incredible, for a week. At certain times of the year the Albida? trees are in pod which attracts the elephants right into the camp. We often had elephants and other game right next to our tented room.Hippo were everywhere on the river in very large pods. The camp... More

we stayed for three fantastic (but very hot) nights. the animal / bird watching is incredible. the staff and guides of the concession are great. the food was copious (make sure you plan some exercise somehow - not quite sure how - but seems like we were eating 6 or 7 times a day...and sitting in a land rover all...

As honeymooners, Rukomechi was aiming to be at the more luxurious end of our safari experience and it certainly delivered. As a wilderness camp it was clearly very comfortable with good food, but what really sold it to us was the additional service that was provided to make this an intimate and exciting experience. We were given a table for... More

Of 4 camps we visited this was far and away the best. The animal viewing was absolutely extraordinary. I still cannot believe the numbers of animals. The quality of the accomodation was top notch and the staff were all extremely friendly and there to help us with any and every need. Everything was spotlessly clean. Our guide, Champ was easily...

During our stay at Ruckomechi Camp at Mana Pools are guide Darmish was very educational and took us out tracking in addition to just traditional game viewing and we found wildlife based on what he taught us about tracking. We love Ruckomechi camp because the elephants are in camp all of the time, they come right up to your tent... More

Mana Pools is a particular family favourite. We stayed at the previous thatched camp regularly over the period 1996-2000.The new location and the new tented camp is based on the same principle, although less rustic and more formal. As a location, Mana Pools and the Zambezi River is unique. We saw cheetah,wild dog,elephant,lion,hyena and honey badgers.We walked,went on game drives... More

Situated on the banks of the Zambezi at the top end of Mana pools, the camp has a superb location. The camp is a Wilderness Safaris camp run by Carl and Juju who have a very relaxed atmosphere with attention to service. We we really spoilt with sundowners on one of the sandy islands in the middle of the river... More

Ruckomechi is a typcal Wilderness Safari camp. Everything is predictably calm and relaxed. The overall atmosphere of the camp is nice and the service is good. The food does leave something to be desired though. Overall, the game viewing was limited. In my estimation, there is a hunting concession quite near to the park which in turn tends to thin... More

- On our arrival! They didn't come in! All the staff were friendly - especially Kevin - what a wonderful dedicated guide. We did see lions "on the job" which was a great honour! and saw a lot of game - especially on the night drives. Food was lovely - but the whole place was a bit too regimented for... More
