Sometimes, it takes a herd of elephants drinking from a nearby waterhole to stop you in your tracks and to appreciate it all…

Across two countries, three safari destinations and 11 camps and lodges, you might think that it’s all about the wildlife at Machaba Safaris.

And while we can’t refuse their magnetism, there is something about human connection that is undeniable. This is why we continue to support the communities that surround our camps and lodges, because it’s the people who give our camps their personality and warmth. It’s the people who our guests often come back to see time and time again.

Our way of giving back is to create jobs where the locals can thrive, develop talent so the next generation can discover their passion and trust in our teams.

We believe that this is the best way to uplift communities and ensure sustainable tourism for years to come.

The early spirit of Machaba lives on in every campfire.

As the flames dance and flicker, the wilderness settles into darkness, and the fire becomes a warm, inviting place to share stories about the day’s adventures, like we did when our own safari dream was born.

Each bird has a ‘flight initiation distance’: how close a person or predator can get before the bird flies off.

Instinctually, their discomfort tells them that it’s no longer safe. We apply this to all living things on safari. At each wildlife encounter, a safe and respectful distance is kept, while still allowing for the best possible sighting.

Trust is built on respect and keeping a safe distance.

Dining at its best at Monachira Camp.

With the wilderness laid out before you and the occasional visitor ambling across the open plains, no two dining experiences here are ever quite the same.

Arguably the most elusive feline in the bush, a cheetah emerged from the drying thicket to delight both guests and guides.

A cold drink in hand, stories from the day being shared and the sounds of the bush settling in around you.

There is something about that time of day at Machaba Camp – nowhere else to be, nothing else to do, just a chance to sit back and enjoy where you are.
