Machaba Camp

PLAN MY TRIP

Named for the local sycamore fig tree known as the tree of life, Machaba Camp is a classic safari destination, preserving the vintage allure of the Okavango Delta.

The camp’s ten luxury tents are built in the classic 1950s style but exude a warm contemporary feel. Each tent includes a spacious and comfortable living area as well as an en-suite bathroom with a romantic outdoor shower. In addition to which, the tents come with a private veranda with exceptional views. Eight of the tents are twin tents, and two are luxury family tents.

Machaba is located on the same island as its sister camp, Little Machaba, but is run independently. It is situated in the Khwai Concession, a 180, 000-hectare reserve situated in the north eastern Okavango adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve. The wildlife in the Khwai region is incredible, with large populations of leopard and wild dog. The area is made up of sweeping grasslands, riparian forests and floodplains. The local community runs eco-tourism initiatives here to preserve the integrity and natural beauty of the area. The Machaba trees which the camp is named after grows to heights of 65 feet and provides abundant fruit for numerous animals such as elephant, baboon, bush buck, and green pigeon. Many animals live here including lion, hyena, impala, leopard, wild dog, and hundreds of bird species.

The camp offers plenty of activities. Game drives are held in the mornings and afternoon/evenings. Lasting about three hours each, they are conducted along the river systems and flood plains around the camp. The camp has night drives for a chance to see the smaller more nocturnal animals. Leisurely walking safaris are also offered generally in the morning with armed guides and provide a chance to see smaller animals in the bush that might be missed from a vehicle. The camp also has a Mekoro safari in a dugout canoe steered by an experienced poler in the shallower waters of the Okavango for views of life on the river.

All the tents are positioned on the ground with pathways meandering between the large riverine trees. Guests can relax and recharge at the camp’s pool which features spectacular views, catch up on some reading from the camp’s library, or visit the local community. While children of all ages are welcome, a private vehicle will need to be booked for families with children under six years of age.
