A family indulgence (10 days)

You will arrive at Wilderness Ruckomechi with Wilderness Air Zimbabwe charter flight from Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport (Harare).

Located in the legendary Mana Pools National Park, Wilderness Ruckomechi enjoys incredible views across the Zambezi to the towering escarpment on the Zambian side of the river. Albida trees provide both shade and seed pods that are beloved of elephants, meaning that these charismatic creatures are never far away.

Guest accommodation consists of ten spacious en-suite tented units, including two family units, and open 4x4 vehicles, motorised pontoon boats, canoes and good old safari boots facilitate the wildlife viewing. The camp even features a secluded outdoor bath for a luxurious sensory experience. Wilderness Ruckomechi is open throughout the dry (winter) season.

INSIDER'S TIP: A boat cruise along the mighty Zambezi is a wonderful way to see wildlife and waterbirds from a different perspective. For the more adventurous – there’s the option of canoeing along this famous river!

You will depart Wilderness Ruckomechi with Wilderness Air Zimbabwe charter flight to Wilderness Little Makalolo, Hwange National Park.

A charming, intimate camp in the south-east of Hwange, “Little Mak” features prominently on the mental maps of local wildlife, all drawn to its reliable waterhole. A log-pile hide affords unique, thrilling close-up views of elephants, and habitat diversity ensures year-round wildlife.

Activities focus on game drives and morning nature walks. The many waterholes produce amazing sightings, or guests can relax in camp and wait for wildlife to come to them. The six spacious en-suite tents (including a family tent) are only surpassed in the experience stakes by the opportunity to sleep out at the Madison Pan star bed.

INSIDER'S TIP: Visit the log-pile hide between game drives to enjoy close up viewing of wildlife at the productive waterhole. Elephants are often the star attraction so make sure you have your camera ready…

You will depart Wilderness Little Makalolo with Wilderness Air Zimbabwe charter flight to Victoria Falls Airport. Road transfer from Victoria Falls Airport with Underneath Trading (Wilderness) to Livingston Airport.

From Livingston Airport guests will be transferred by Underneath Trading (Wilderness) to Wilderness Toka Leya.

On the banks of the Zambezi River, Wilderness Toka Leya is far enough from Livingstone to ensure a tranquil, authentic bush experience, yet close enough for guests to enjoy all the many activities in the greater Victoria Falls area. Wilderness Toka Leya can be all about adrenaline, or an opportunity to relax and unwind before or after a safari.

Wilderness Toka Leya has twelve luxurious tents (of which three are family tents). Each has a sumptuous outdoor bath, while the wellness centre with yoga and meditation options complements the serene surroundings. Boating and catch-and-release fishing excursions bring the Zambezi experience to life.

INSIDER'S TIP: Reconnect with nature by enjoying a massage treatment on the banks of the Zambezi River!
