Little Machaba
Khwai Concession (bordering the Moremi Game Reserve)
Little Machaba Camp is situated in the game rich Khwai area on the same island as Machaba Camp. The Khwai Concession is a 87,000 acre reserve situated in the north eastern Okavango adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve. The intimate Little Machaba Camp is decorated in an understated 1950’s colonial style. Lying on the banks of the Khwai River and boasting views of the Moremi Game Reserve, it is one of the most exquisite affordable camps within the region. With just two double tents and two family tents, relaxed feel, abundance of game viewing and fine dining it makes for the ideal safari destination. The luxury en-suite safari tents include elegant living areas as well as romantic indoor and outdoor showers. All the tents are situated on ground level and the pathways to the tents meander between the large riverine trees. The main dining and bar area are also on wooden decks overlooking a large flood plain – a perfect spot to relax in between morning and afternoon activities. A swimming pool with stunning views offers another option for relaxation. The wildlife viewing in the area, both from vehicle or water is superb. You can look forward to
mokoro trips (water dependent) and game viewing by vehicle and on foot. Being in a private concession, you can also look forward to night drives and off road viewing.
Game drives are conducted in the mornings and afternoon/evenings at camp. They usually last about three hours each and are conducted along the river systems and flood plains around the camp. The wildlife in the area is prolific and chances are good to see wild dog, large prides of lions, big herds of buffalo and elephant, leopard, cheetah and all the plains animals that occur here. Night drives are conducted in the early evening offering one a chance to see the smaller more nocturnal animals with spotlights.
Machaba Camp offers the perfect pairing with Gomoti Plains Camp both in affordability, luxury and diverse offering.
