Nestling in a large grove of acacia and mahogany trees, Ruckomechi Camp overlooks the Zambezi River with the mountains of Africa’s Great Rift Valley in the distance. The camp also affords guests superb views of the Zambian Escarpment. The area around the camp is renowned for its regular lion, elephant and leopard sightings.
Location:
Situated on the western boundary of the Mana Pools National Park.
Accommodation and facilities:
Guests are accommodated in seven en suite thatched chalets. There is a honeymoon suite situated overlooking the Zambezi River which has one of the camp’s favourite facilities – an outdoor “bath with a view”. The central dining, pub and lounge area is under cool thatch on the river’s edge, facing the escarpment. One of the biggest delights here is that you will more than likely share your meals with an elephant or two!
Activities:
Ruckomechi activities include game drives in 4x4 vehicles, canoe trips, boating and fishing. Daily game walks are available with an armed guide as are mid-morning game viewing trips by boat to the islands.
Special attractions:
The camp vegetation is dominated by broad canopied albida trees, much loved by elephants for their rich nutritious pods. Elephants are therefore often to be found in camp!
