Welcome inside
Monachira Camp
Inspired by classic safaris and infused with a modern flair, Monachira Camp seamlessly blends nostalgia with contemporary luxuries. Our double and family designer tents each contain an en-suite bedroom with modern bathrooms, patio deck and relaxation area, offering ample space to unwind in your own privacy. Shaded by the island forests, our tents are ideally positioned overlooking the vast floodplains while offering unparalleled views of the wildlife frequenting the surrounding wetlands.
Luxury double and family safari tents
Our elegant safari tents feature en suite bedrooms with a romantic king-sized bed that can be separated into two twin beds. The family tents at our camp have two separate sleeping areas, each with its own oversized bed, comfortably catering for four guests in total.
Shower outdoors
In addition to an inside shower, each unit has an open-air shower with hot and cold running water. Completely private from the casual passerby only the African sun or stars can see you as you rinse off the day’s adventures.
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.
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.

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 showers
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.
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.
