A team who love what they do
True to the planet and her people
Machaba is the Setswana name for the Sycamore Fig tree whose fruit attracts animals from afar. At Machaba Safaris we know that it’s not only the tree and her animals that need our protection, which is why we lend our support to the fragile local communities whose people have lived in these remote regions for centuries. It is also why Machaba Safaris attracts like-minded explorers from all over the globe to share in the joy that ethical eco tourism has to offer.
