Little Mombo Camp - Botswana - The Classic Safari Company

Discover Remote Luxury at Little Ruckomechi

Little Ruckomechi offers an exclusive and immersive safari experience on the banks of the Zambezi River, within a private concession of Zimbabwe’s renowned Mana Pools National Park. With just four beautifully appointed tents, the camp is designed to offer understated luxury and a strong connection to the wilderness. Each tent features contemporary furnishings, indoor and outdoor showers, and a private deck that overlooks the river – a prime spot for observing elephants as they wander past.

This remote camp delivers an unforgettable blend of adventure and tranquillity. Game drives, expertly guided walks, and canoe excursions offer intimate encounters with the region’s extraordinary wildlife, including lion, leopard, wild dog, and large herds of buffalo and elephant. Birdlife is prolific, and the ever-present sounds of the bush add a magical layer to the experience.

Little Ruckomechi’s main area includes a welcoming lounge and dining space that opens to a decked area with a plunge pool, perfectly positioned to take in sunset views across the river. Meals are fresh and seasonal, served al fresco whenever possible, with a focus on relaxed, personal service.

Located in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the camp operates seasonally to ensure minimal environmental impact. Its riverside setting and private concession status provide a truly exclusive escape, far from the crowds.

Ideal for couples or small groups seeking a private, authentic safari experience, Little Ruckomechi combines warm hospitality with one of Africa’s most breathtaking wilderness settings.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Jenny Kidd

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

Elizabeth Mackintosh

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor
