 Machaba Camp is located along the Khwai River on the edge of the Moremi Game Reserve, which is one of the most beautiful reserves in southern Africa and offers spectacular game viewing. Elephant abound, often passing by the camp in search of acacia pods on their way to the waters of the Khwai River. The Khwai is the local water supply for big game in the area and forms the boundary between Machaba and the Moremi Wildlife Reserve.
This is Big Game Country ~ Cape buffalo, elephant, lion, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe and several species of antelope abound. You may even see the elusive leopard and a profusion of smaller nocturnal animals.
 At dusk, the sandgrouse fly down to the banks of the river and the hippos leave the water in search of the night's pastures. A night drive at Machaba reveals another world - bush babies, hyenas, jackals and genets will all show themselves, as well as nocturnal birds.
Evenings are a comfortable time, too. After an ice cold cocktail, a hot shower, a superb bush cuisine dinner accompanied by fine wines, and a good yarn around the campfire, a comfortable bed is a good place to retire and listen to the true African experience.
