A remote, riverside setting with sensational views towards the rugged Rift Valley escarpment, Ruckomechi Camp provides a wonderful base for some truly awe-inspiring wildlife encounters. The camp sits beneath the shade of beautiful, broad-canopied albida trees – much loved by the local elephants – with a central living area and fire pit at its heart for relaxed evenings underneath the stars. The camp also boasts a beautiful star bed strategically placed next to an active waterhole.

During your stay, you’ll enjoy morning and late afternoon game drives in open jeeps, stopping for either coffee/sundowners in carefully chosen scenic locations. You’ll have access to both the private concession and national park, maximising your encounters with the region’s elephant, leopard, buffalo and lion. Other activities include canoeing and boat cruises on the river – a great way to spot water birds – and rewarding nature walks led by professional guides. When not enjoying activities, the camp’s infinity pool is a great place to unwind with its sweeping river views.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”
From our very first phone call, 91ºÚÁÏÍø provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.
Testimonial 5
“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
Testimonial 6
“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91ºÚÁÏÍø stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
