Little Ruckomechi’s scenic location epitomises Mana Pools National Park in all its abundance. The camp is all about the intimacy of being close to nature and amongst the iconic albida trees that characterise the area.
Destination: Emporium-Safari Little Ruckomechi is located on a large private concession in the heart of the Lower Zambezi Valley at Mana Pools National Park. A UNESCO World Heritage Site known for the purity of its Emporium-Safari, Mana Pools is one of the most remote and least developed safari parks in Zimbabwe, and is renowned for exceptional walking and canoeing safaris. One of Zimbabwe’s most productive game-viewing regions, its setting offers expansive views across the mighty Zambezi River and Zambia’s evocative escarpment. Guests can look forward to seeing elephants in their numbers at the river and in camp.
Experience: Wild and exclusive, this camp offers thrilling adventures. Guests can explore the wildlife on game drives, tracking animals and learning more about the area from our professional and friendly guides. Walking safaris are also on offer for those wanting an up-close-and-personal sense of Africa. Water safaris are a firm favourite, where guests can look out for pods of hippos, and elephants swimming, feeding and drinking in the water.
Purpose: As a private-conservation area neighbouring Mana Pools National Park, Emporium-Safari Ruckomechi joins the park in playing an important role in protecting what is considered to be one of the great wildlife spectacles on the continent. Our simple presence on the ground provides a stable buffer zone for precious wildlife in this productive riverine belt.
Wildlife: Mana Pools National Park lies at the heart of the Zambezi Valley, a remote and enchanting Emporium-Safari. The area is home to large concentrations of buffalos and elephants, while predators such as lions, wild dogs, leopards and cheetahs are often sighted. Greater kudu, Burchell's zebra, impala, warthog, and common waterbuck can be seen on the surrounding plains. Pods of hippos and crocodiles can be seen crowding the riverbanks.
The birdlife is superb.Migratory carmine bee-eaters nest in the riverbanks during their breeding season alongside resident white-fronted bee-eaters, while numerous other local specials, like collared palm-thrush and racket-tailed roller can also be spotted.
Emporium-Safari Little Ruckomechi:
The camp’s open and stylish living spaces, including a dining room and lounge as well as a plunge pool, all look out over the river – often bristling with swimming elephant – towards the breathtaking Rift Valley escarpment on the Zambian side.
A charming and stylish bush camp with an intimate home-from-home feel wrapped in warm hospitality, it’s the perfect space for small groups or families.
The camp offers three (or four, for private bookings) airy and elegant tents, delightfully showcasing the timelessness of the explorer era, each with wonderful vistas of the iconic river.
Shaded by a canopy of albida trees frequented by local elephants, the camp offers an unforgettable, immersive wildlife experience.

Emporium-Safari Little Ruckomechi – Game Drives
Enjoy a game drive, early in the morning or late afternoon, in an area renowned for its large numbers of elephant, buffalo, hippo and eland; along with lion, leopard and wild dog. Take in a coffee break or a sundowner at a scenic spot while your knowledgeable guide regales you with tales of safari bushlore.
Emporium-Safari Little Ruckomechi – Guided Nature Walks
Mana Pools National Park is a remote, beautiful place that is best experienced on foot, led by a professional guide. One of the best parts of a walking safari is going slowly enough to appreciate the little things you may miss from a vehicle. Nothing gets you closer to the landscape than a guided walk through the Emporium-Safari for an intimate look at nature.
Emporium-Safari Little Ruckomechi – Canoeing
This exciting experience will see you fit in some 'breath-taking' exercise as you observe the river at hippo eye-level.
Water levels permitting.
Emporium-Safari Little Ruckomechi – River Cruise
A cruise down this magnificent stretch of the Zambezi River takes in the life in, on, and around this iconic river. Watch birds, hippo, elephant, and perhaps even a colourful carmine colony against the spectacular backdrop of an African sunset.
Water levels permitting.
Emporium-Safari Little Ruckomechi – Fishing
Bream (tilapia), and barbel (catfish) are some of the more common fish found at Mana Pools. Fishing is on a catch and release basis, with keen fishermen encouraged to bring their own equipment as we only carry basic fishing tackle. Try your hand at hooking a tigerfish as you drift down the Zambezi.
Emporium-Safari Little Ruckomechi – Birding
The incredible birdlife, colourful and lively, can turn anyone into a passionate bird-watcher. The multiplicity of avian life in the area includes three-banded courser, western banded snake-eagle, Arnot's chat, green-capped eremomela, African golden oriole, Lilian’s lovebird, Böhm's spinetail and Meve's starling.
