Machaba Camp can be found on the eastern part of the Okavango Delta, in the game dense Khwai area. It comes as no surprise that this tented camp was nominated for Botswana’s Leading Tented Safari Camp in the 2013 World Travel Awards. This luxury camp exudes the elegance and style of the 1950s.
It consists of eight luxury safari tents and two family tents. The spacious tents are elegantly furnished and provide the ultimate in comfort. All the accommodation has en-suite bathrooms, living areas and refreshing outdoor showers. The tents are located in the picturesque riverine tree-line on the Khwai River, with magnificent views of the renowned Moremi Game Reserve.
Being located on the Khwai River is perfect for game viewing. Guests can relax on the tented verandahs and watch the animals that go to the river to drink on a daily basis. Other relaxing activities at camp include sunbathing on the loungers surrounding the swimming pool or curling up with a book from the camp’s well-stocked library. There is also a tented main area for guests to use at their convenience.
But of course, people go to Botswana to venture into the wild and see the animals and birdlife in their natural habitat. Machaba Camp offers informative game drives with experienced guides to ensure guests see and learn as much as possible. For a closer encounter with the landscape, armed rangers can escort guests on game walks.
For something completely different and utterly unique, guests can truly experience the Okavango Delta on Mekoro excursions (Mekoro are a traditional local version of a canoe). To gain a better understanding of daily life in Botswana and to learn more about the indigenous culture, one can also arrange to visit the local community.
