Mana Pools National Park remains one of the last truly remote destinations in Southern Africa.  Named after the many pools and lagoons within the park and home to pods of hippos.  The park sits on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River where you can expect to see huge herds of elephant and buffalo come down to drink from its cool waters.

 

Ruckomechi is an stunning camp of just ten stunning guest tents each with a breath-taking view of the Zambezi River and set amongst ana trees that are popular with elephants. The camp’s unique ‘bath with a view’ and ‘Star Bed’ located a short distance away from camp are an absolute must for a guest staying at this breath-taking camp.
