Machaba Camp stands in riverine forest in the Khwai concession, on the north-eastern edge of the Okavango Delta where the concession meets Moremi Game Reserve. Ten canvas tents on raised wooden decks face seasonal floodplains; eight are double or twin and two are family units, capping the camp at twenty-four guests. The styling is deliberately period — metal bedsteads, brass fans, wood furniture — following a 1950s safari-camp idea. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with twin basins and an open-air shower. There is a central pool and a tented main area that can be opened up or closed against weather.
What sets it apart
It is run by an independently owned Botswana operator and deliberately built in a mid-century safari style rather than a contemporary one.
Who it suits
Families; travellers wanting an independently owned camp on the Khwai/Moremi boundary.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs of African bush and desert country, chosen to suggest the kind of landscape you find around the Khwai River, Botswana. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had been there. For pictures of the rooms, and of the view they actually look out on, see the property's own site.
