What does this mean?
Machaba Safaris combines the authenticity of the past, the comforts of today and a future-thinking eco-awareness. Our camps feature iconic canvas tents, cooling plunge pools and communal bars and dining areas and reading nooks. We consciously forgo certain conveniences like hairdryers and air-con, and rely on alternative energy to lighten our load on the planet.
How we lighten the load
- Camp electricity is a hybrid of solar energy and a back-up generator.
- Low energy consuming appliances and light bulbs.
- No permanent fixtures means that our campsites can be rehabilitated in 1.5 years.
- Separate Bio Plants manage kitchen, laundry and staff village solids.

Camp Facilities and Amenities

Tented dining and social area
The oversized tented deck area forms the social hub of our camps. You can meet other safari goers at the bar, relax in the lounges or gather around the large fire pits to swap stories, fuelling the feeling of being on an authentic African safari in the bush.

Solar energy
We harvest the sun’s energy via solar panels, that store electricity in a battery bank. Our hot water supply is generated by a state of the art Thermodynamic Solar Energy system, which ensures that the camps have hot water, no matter the weather.

Plunge pool
Africa is a sun-drenched country where summer temperatures often reach the high thirties and low forty-degrees Celsius. After a morning safari, counting the passing clouds while floating in a pool or resting on a sun bed is nothing short of sublime.

Spa therapist
Melt into the sounds and heat of the bush as a qualified therapist conducts a relaxing facial or a massage in the comfort of your guest room.

Wi-Fi Connectivity
A holiday in Africa is the perfect time to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature and loved ones. Due to the remoteness of the camp there is limited connectivity available. Wi-Fi connections are available in the rooms only.

Airstrip access
The camp is only a short game drive away from the nearest airstrip, providing game viewing opportunities en route to and from the camp.
