Ruckomechi Camp

Situated along the Zambezi River’s expansive frontage, within a strategically-located private concession

Guests at Ruckomechi Camp can enjoy a range of unique experiences that are carefully curated yet unintrusive. The camp’s location is strategic—sitting just beside Mana Pools National Park in a private concession that spans nearly 40 km² and allows for activities not typically permitted in the national park. This niche positioning ensures an exclusive game-viewing experience while offering the versatility to venture into the Hurungwe Safari Area.

This location is especially noteworthy. The camp’s proximity to the vast Zambezi River against the backdrop of the Zambezi escarpment enriches the experience. The river serves as a significant life artery in the area, attracting high concentrations of elephant, buffalo, and other large game, making Ruckomechi an attractive point of call for those keen on experiencing the core of African wildlife.
