1 ALTERNATE BETWEEN SAFARI ON LAND AND OVER WATER AT RUCKOMECHI CAMP
Fronted by the Zambezi River, Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park comprises 2,612 square miles of unspoiled mahogany- and baobab-studded forests, river islands, channels, and lakes. This exquisite patchwork of woodlands and waterways fosters a riveting safari experience that’s equal parts land and water.
To fully appreciate the duality, stay at Wilderness Safaris’ Ruckomechi Camp, where mornings spent spotting lions and buffalo by Land Rover rival afternoons watching hippos and birds by motorized boat. Float past sunbathing crocodiles, preening bee-eaters, and boisterous elephants, admiring the undulating mountains of the Rift Valley in the horizon.
