Welcome inside
Verney's Camp
Verney's Camp is a nostalgic-style safari camp. The main camp area is flanked by 2 family tents and 8 double tents, which are tucked into the teak forest on an elevated platform that provides sweeping views over the pan and waterholes. Each tastefully appointed unit contains a luxury en-suite bedroom with modern bathroom with hot and cold water and flushing toilet, and patio deck and relaxation area. Verney's Camp is a highly sought after combination of location, comfort and exceptional bird and wildlife viewing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In-tent electricity and plug points
Our tents have 240V plug points which can be used to power fans, lamps and charge batteries for electronic devices. This voltage, however, is not suitable for hairdryers, electric shavers or other high power consuming appliances.

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

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.
