The camp sleeps 20 guests in 10 thatched chalets. Facilities are en-suite and include a shower, toilet and basin. There is one honeymoon suite overlooking the Zambezi River with an outside "bath with a view". The central dining, pub and lounge area are under cool thatch, on the river's edge, facing the escarpment. A wooden viewing deck provides the perfect place for gazing at the Zambezi River and the mountains. There is a plunge pool.

Ruckomechi offers diverse game activities, including game drives in 4x4 vehicles, canoe trips, boating and fishing. Daily game walks are available with an armed guide. Mid-morning game viewing trips by boat to the islands are a highlight. A 3-night canoe trip on the Zambezi River, The Mana Canoe & Walking Trail, is also available along the Mana Pools shoreline starting at Ruckomechi Camp and ending at Chikwenya Camp.

The predators, including Lion, Wild Dog and Leopard, are often sighted, and large concentrations of Buffalo can be found along the river's edges. Kudu, Zebra, Impala and Waterbuck can be seen on the surrounding plains. Elephant take advantage of the plentiful "albida" trees in the area. Bird-watching tends to be good, with the river attracting large numbers of water birds. The grunting of Hippos can be heard all day.
