Ruckomechi Camp is on the boundary of Mana Pools National Park area which is home to an abundance of wildlife including lion, wild dog, leopard, cheetah, buffalo, zebra, impala and elephant. Birdlife is superb, particularly for both mopane woodland and riverine species with numerous local specials like Collared Palm-Thrush, Racket-tailed Roller, Purple-banded Sunbird and Black-throated Wattle-Eyes.
Activities include wildlife viewing in open 4x4 vehicles, on motorised pontoon boats, on foot, in hides and in canoes. Guest get to explore Mana Pools as well as the private concession.
Ruckomechi Camp accommodates guests in ten spacious en-suite tented units, including a honeymoon suite, all of which overlook the Zambezi River. Each tent has both indoor and outdoor showers, and the camps outdoor 'bath-with-a-view' in a secluded, scenic spot is a favourite amongst guests. The central dining, bar, library and lounge areas face the escarpment and are connected to the rest of the camp by low-level walkways that minimise environmental impact. There is a separate deck with infinity pool for swimming and sun bathing, and an inviting, cushion-strewn star gazing deck.
Guests can easily combine this camp with a camp in Hwange national park or Victoria Falls. We can also arrange all internal flights for you.
The best time to travel to Ruckomechi Camp is from April to November, but we advise staying at Mana Pools at the end of the dry season around October time when the rest of the surrounding area is dry and the animals flock to the river which is their permanent water source.
