Drive Into Machaba Camp
Machaba Camp
Machaba Camp is situated in the game rich Khwai area, on the eastern tongue of
the Okavango Delta, constructed on the same site as the previous Machaba
camp. The name Machaba is the local Setswana name for the Sycamore Fig
Tree, the tree of life. The Machaba tree abounds in the Okavango Delta and
most African riverine forests.
Machaba trees are renowned for their abundant fruit, which feed a vast array of
animals throughout the year, including elephant, baboons, bush buck, green
pigeons and many more.
The camp is built in the classic 1950's style, with luxury safari tents, en-suite
bathrooms and living areas, not forgetting the romantic outdoor showers. All the
tents are situated on the ground and the pathways to the tents meander between
the large riverine trees.
Accommodation
All 10 luxury tents are situated in the beautiful riverine treeline on the Khwai
River, overlooking the famous Moremi Game Reserve. From these tented
verandas one can watch the daily parade of animals coming down to drink at the
river in front of camp. The camp consists of 8 luxury twin tents and 2 luxury
family tents. Children of all ages are welcome at the camp; however, a private
vehicle will need to be booked for families with children under the age of 6 years
old.
Machaba Camp is independently owned and run. Machaba Camp is aimed at the
affordable luxury travel markets across the world, offering great value for money
and a unique classical safari experience. Machaba Camp will appeal to the
novice safari guest as well as to the seasoned safari traveler.
