Machaba is the Setswana name for the Sycamore Fig tree whose fruit attracts animals from afar. At Machaba Safaris we know that it’s not only the tree and her animals that need our protection, which is why we lend our support to the fragile local communities whose people have lived in these remote regions for centuries. It is also why Machaba Safaris attracts like-minded explorers from all over the globe to share in the joy that ethical eco tourism has to offer.

Machaba Safaris operates in Botswana and Zimbabwe with locations in prime safari destinations including the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, Mana Pools National Park and Hwange National Park. While each site has its own specific charm, the Machaba standard of excellence is consistent.
Our Magnificent Destinations
Operating in Botswana and Zimbabwe, we have concessions in some of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa.
Okavango Delta
- It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- There are over 150 000 islands in the Delta.
- The Delta shrinks and grows up to three times in size.
A river delta typically forms where a river enters an ocean. However, the Okavango Delta’s waters never make it to the sea. It is a rare natural phenomenon in the middle of a desert that gives rise to an ever-changing tapestry of life forms throughout the year.
