The tented rooms are built on low wooden decks and comprise of en-suite facilities with a writing desk and chair, electronic safe, tea and coffee making facilities, charging station and small veranda.
Sandy walkways link the tents to the main area. The living spaces include a dining room and lounge as well as a plunge pool all looking out over the great Zambezi River and the Zambian foothills in the distance. An open fire place built in the shade of romantic albida trees is the place to meet in the evenings while dinner is prepared for you.
The sister camp Ruckomechi is located a 20 minute drive further south.
The camp is located on the banks of the Zambezi inside a private concession bordering the actual park. No other vehicles are permitted to drive in this area and as the concession is located just outside the park, night drives are allowed as well.
Ruckomechi Camp can be reached by flying to Harare in Zimbabwe before taking a 1.5-hour light aircraft flight to camp, or in a light aircraft from Victoria Falls (2 hrs). Transfer from Mana West Airstrip to camp takes around 30 minutes.
Please note that rhino, wildebeest and giraffe are not present in the park.
The camp often receives visits from large numbers of elephant, which simply walk right through the main building. Waterbuck and impala munch the grass right in front of the rooms. Hippos grunt in the Zambezi and scour the banks for greenery, and elephants can often be seen from the camp crossing the river.
