The tents are built on decks that are linked to the main area by a pathway that winds through the riverine trees. With a maximum capacity of 8 guests and a dedicated team of staff, Little Machaba is the epitome of an intimate and personal safari experience.
Roughing it meets comfort
Feel close to nature with only a layer of canvas between you and the wilds, but enjoy the luxuries of electric lamps, fans, mini safes and running hot and cold water.
Luxurious outdoor bathtub
You can soak up the romance and luxury of spectacular views and wildlife from the comfort of a freestanding bathtub located on a secluded deck alongside your tent.
Watch the wildlife pass your tent
The private patio area in front of your tent provides the perfect viewing spot from which to watch the African bush unfold in front of you.
Modern en suite bathrooms
Every eco-luxury tent has an en suite bathroom with hot and cold running water, a double basin vanity, an indoor shower, flush toilets and locally sourced bath products.
Elevated decks
The luxury safari tents in this camp are built on elevated wooden decks which raise the tents and pathways off the ground and provide great viewing platforms to enjoy the views and wildlife around the camp
Immersed in the wilds
Sleeping under the stars in an eco-luxury tent is an authentic way in which to see, hear and smell the African wilds without forgoing conveniences such as a luxury bed and linen and a full bathroom.

A pleasing balance between style, comfort and environment
We design each room to maximise privacy and optimise views of the land and we take our decor inspiration from a traditional African safari in terms of the fabrics, texture and hues that we use. We pair this feeling of opulence with consideration for the environment, which is why we don’t have any permanent structural fixtures and rely on solar energy, forgoing energy-heavy appliances such as shavers, air-conditioning and hairdryers.
- Electric lights, fans and charging stations
- International 240v plug points
- Western flushing toilet
From The Team
We aim to be environmentally conscious and aspire to achieve a delicate balance between comfort and environmental impact
Essentials and Amenities
Our rooms have all the comforts you need without compromising on the feeling of an authentic African safari feeling.
Full en-suite bathrooms
The en-suite luxury bathrooms have hot and cold running water and western-style flush toilets, enabling you to refresh, relax and reflect on another exciting day in nature.
Outdoor bathtub
It is not often that one can shower under the twinkle of the stars (or the bright sun) in complete and total privacy.
Double vanity
A double vanity basin adds to the feeling of home comfort, even though you are thousands of miles away in the heart of nature.
Finest linen and bedding
Superior quality mattresses are dressed in natural fabrics and the finest of coverings. Sleeping in the wilds has never been so indulgent.
Sumptuous towels and decadent bath products
Taking a shower after a day of adventure in the wilds reminds one of the simple pleasures in life. We supply locally produced bath products made from organic herbs and absorbent comforting towels.
Electricity and plug points
Each room is fitted with electrical lights, lamps and fans. The 240V International plug points can power charging stations, batteries and sleep apnoea machines but are not suitable for hairdryers and electric shavers.
Testimonials
Staying in a luxury safari tent
Staying in a safari tent immerses you into the wilds without compromising on the comfort and safety of a luxury room. Your ears will tune into the light rustlings of leaves or the distant roar of the mighty king of the veld. The wind gently catches and snaps the canvas and the air is alive with scented bushveld air. Being this close to nature evokes feelings of oneness and belonging. Africa is the birthplace of humankind, and a visit to Machaba Safaris feels like coming home.
