LITTLE RUCKOMECHI, MANA POOLS NATIONAL PARK

GREAT WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES

Little Ruckomechi enjoys a fabulous location within a private concession adjoining one of Africa’s great wildlife sanctuaries, Mana Pools National Park.

If you’re after a truly intimate, exclusive safari experience on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Zimbabwe, look no further than Little Ruckomechi. Nestled among the region’s famous albida trees, this classic tented camp allows its guests to feel as close to nature as possible, starting with sensational views across the Zambezi River.

With only three ensuite tents to its name, the experience here is truly unique. Raised on wooden decks, each tent is tastefully styled in a way that reflects the bygone explorer era with traditional canvas walls, writing desks and copper washbasins.

Throughout your stay, you’ll get the chance to track big game – lions, leopards, wild dog and elephant – on exciting game drives, and experience fascinating bush walks alongside knowledgeable guides. Other activities include canoeing, fishing and boat trips on the Zambezi – a great way to spot local birds. Facilities include a refreshing swimming pool, a cosy communal lounge and stylish dining area all with lovely river views.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”

This was our second big trip with The Ultimate Travel Company – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”

Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.
