Elephants' favorite safari camp
Ruckomechi Camp, 'paradise for nature lovers' is located on the banks of the Zambezi River. In a large forest of acacia and mahogany trees lie ten stylish en-suite tents, all with exclusive views over the mighty Zambezi River and the mountains of the Great Rift Valley.Explore the park with an open 4x4 vehicle: in the early morning looking for large herds of buffalo, elephants, antelope, late afternoon predators such as lion, wild dog, leopard or cheetah spotting. Walking safaris accompanied by a professional guide across the surrounding plain. Or drinking game and observing numerous waterfowl as the canoe, speedboat or pontoon glides through the waters of the Zambezi. Spot three-banded Courser, western banded snake-eagle, Arnot's chat, green-capped eremomela, African golden oriole, Lilian's lovebird, Böhm's spinetail and Meve's starling. Catch a tiger... Vis
You can cool off in the pool and relax in the hammock, armed with binoculars. Waking up does you with a light breakfast. Between safaris you can taste a tasteful lunch and afternoon tea. Dinner is served at the long table in the dining room or outside under the stars.
