Ruckomechi
is situated just outside of the Mana Pools National
Park. It is located in a large grove of Acacia and
Mahogany trees overlooking the Zambezi River with
a superb view of the mountains of Africa's Great Rift
Valley. The camp accommodates guests in 10 thatched
chalets. Facilities are en-suite and include a shower,
toilet and basin.
There
is one honeymoon suite overlooking the Zambezi River.
One of the camp's much used facilities is an outside
"bath with a view". The central dining,
pub and lounge area is under cool thatch, on the river's
edge, facing the escarpment. Ruckomechi offers diverse
game activities, including game drives in 4x4 vehicles,
boats, canoes, and fishing.
Daily
game walks are available with an armed guide. The
predators including Lion, Wild Dog, Leopard, and Cheetah,
are often sighted, and large concentrations of Buffalo
can be found along the river's edges. Kudu, Zebra,
Impala and Waterbuck can be seen on the surrounding
plains, and Elephant take advantage of the plentiful
Albida trees in the area. Bird
watching tends to be good, with the river attracting
large numbers of waterbirds.
