Ruckomechi Camp

Situated on the Zimbabwean side of the river on the western boundary of Mana Pools National Park, Ruckomechi Camp is a naturalist's paradise. Its surroundings contain open floodplains, mopane woodland and riverine forest with the mountains of the Rift Valley escarpment forming the backdrop in Zambia.

On the middle reaches of the Zambezi River, a hundred kilometres below Lake Kariba is the Mana Pools National Park situated in the heart of the Zambezi Valley. Ruckomechi Camp lies on the banks of the Zambezi, shaded by a large grove of acacia and mahogany trees and with a superb view of the mountains of Africa's Great Rift Valley across the river in Zambia.

Ruckomechi Camp accommodates guests in nine 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 camp boasts a favourite amongst guests: its outdoor 'bath-with-a-view' in a secluded, scenic spot.

The area is renowned for large numbers of elephant, buffalo, hippo and eland, especially in the winter when they congregate along the river. Predators such as lion, leopard and wild dog are all found in the area.

An excellent way to see the local wildlife is by canoe and the Ruckomechi & Mana Canoeing Trail begins here.
