The luxurious Ruckomechi Camp in the Mana Pools National Park overlooking the Zambezi River teeming with wildlife

Located on the edge of the Mana Pools National Park (the western boundary to be exact) on the banks of the Zambezi River. Ruckomechi is famed for wildlife sightings from the main viewing decks; it almost feels like there is no point to going on a game drive as the wildlife come to you. This is not a bad thing; trust us on that.

Both wildlife and birdlife are excellent as are the safari activities and the views. In other words, Ruckomechi is one of the best options for those seeking out a Lower Zambezi safari experience.

Of interest, the mountains on the Zambian side of the Zambezi are part of Africa's Great Rift Valley Escarpment.

NOTE: The camp is open seasonally between April and mid/late November - depending on the rains. The perfect addition to any and all Zimbabwe safari options out there.
