ACCOMMODATION

Nestled beneath a canopy of riverine trees along the Khwai River, Machaba Camp embodies the elegance of a bygone safari era, seamlessly blending authentic charm with refined luxury. Located within the Khwai Concession, bordering the Moremi Game Reserve, the camp offers an unparalleled gateway to one of Botswana’s most wildlife-rich regions, where predators roam freely and elephants wade through glistening floodplains.

Inspired by the 1950s classic safari aesthetic, the camp features ten tented suites, including two family units, all positioned at ground level to enhance the sense of immersion in nature. Each suite boasts en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers, private verandas overlooking the river, and elegantly appointed interiors that balance comfort with an authentic safari ambiance. The camp’s main area invites relaxation, with a plunge pool, an open-air lounge, a dining area, and a well-curated library, creating an intimate yet sophisticated retreat.

Dining at Machaba Camp is a wholesome and relaxed affair, with freshly prepared meals served in the main lodge or beneath the African sky. Guests enjoy bush breakfasts, light lunches, and convivial evening dining experiences, often accompanied by the nocturnal sounds of the wilderness. The camp’s carefully crafted menu highlights fresh, locally sourced ingredients, complementing the natural rhythm of safari life.

With a focus on low-impact luxury, Machaba offers a diverse range of safari experiences. Morning and evening game drives traverse the vast concession, unveiling lions, leopards, and African wild dogs among an abundance of plains game. Seasonal mokoro excursions glide through the delta’s winding channels, while guided bush walks reveal the intricate details of the ecosystem. Operating entirely on solar power, Machaba Camp is a haven of sustainability, ensuring an unforgettable safari that respects and preserves its extraordinary surroundings.
