By Plane Flight to Machaba Camp
2 nights Machaba Camp, Khwai Public Concession

Machaba Camp is built in the classic 1950’s style, with luxury safari tents, en-suite bathrooms and living areas, not forgetting the romantic outdoor showers. All the tents are situated on the ground and the pathways to the tents meander between the large riverine trees.

All 10 luxury tents (two of them are family tents) are situated in the beautiful riverine treeline on the Khwai River, overlooking the famous Moremi Game Reserve. From these tented verandas one can watch the daily parade of animals coming down to drink at the river in front of camp. The main area includes a dining area, a small library and a swimming pool.

The name Machaba is the local Setswana name for the Sycamore Fig Tree, the tree of life. Machaba trees are renowned for their abundant fruit, which feed a vast array of animals throughout the year, including elephant, baboons, bush buck, green pigeons and many more.

Little Machaba is the small and private sister camp of Machaba Camp, situated just next door.

Location
Machaba Camp is located in the game rich Khwai Concession NG19, one of the most diverse areas in northern Botswana, which seldom disappoints when it comes to producing extraordinary wildlife experiences. The Khwai Concession lies in the north-eastern corner of the Okavango Delta adjoining the Moremi Game Reserve.

It is a thirty minutes flight from Maun. The transfer from the bush airstirp to the camp takes approximately another 20 minutes.

By Plane Flight to Selinda Explorers Camp
3 nights Selinda Explorers Camp, Okavango Linyanti

Unterkunft
Das Selinda Explorers erweitert die Erlebnis-Palette Botswanas mit einem Ort, wo Sie auf dem Selinda Spillway mit dem Kanu unterwegs sein können. Dieses kleine, persönliche Camp mit nur vier Zelten (eines davon ist ein Familienzelt für vier Personen) wurde vom Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere NP) in Tansania an diesen neuen Ort verfrachtet und bringt eine Spur Swahili Chic nach Botswana.

Anders als die klassischen Camps in Botswana stehen hier alle Zelte ebenerdig und nicht auf erhöhten Plattformen. Das Camp ist einfach, aber sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und mit allem Notwendigen ausgerüstet, inklusive Strom und fliessendem Wasser.

Das Zentrum des Camps bilden die Lounge und das Esszelt, die unter grossen, Schatten spendenden Bäumen stehen. Am Abend wird hier das Feuer entfacht, gesungen, gelacht und unter den Sternen gegessen. Die vielen Petroleum Lampen und das Flackern des Feuers erzeugen eine romantische, abenteuerliche Atmosphäre mitten im Afrikanischen Busch.

Lage
Das Selinda Explorers Camp liegt am Selinda Spillway an einer wirklich romantischen Stelle, rund eine Stunde Fahrt vom Selinda Camp entfernt. Der Spillway ist in Jahren mit hoher Flut die Verbindung zwischen den Okavango Gewässern und den nordöstlicheren Linyanti und Kwando Flüssen. Je nach Wasserstand der beiden Seiten fliesst das Wasser in die eine oder andere Richtung. In manchen Jahren floss es sogar in beide Richtungen, so flach ist das Land! Die Umgebung besteht aus verschiedenen Lebensräumen, insbesondere auch grossen offenen Flächen, und garantiert eine grosse Tiervielfalt.

Das Selinda Explorers Camp ist Teil der privaten Selinda Konzession (1'350 km²). Auf diesem Gebiet stehen auch das Selinda Camp, das Zarafa Camp und das Okavango Explorers Camp.

By Plane Flight to Duba Explorers Camp
2 nights Duba Explorers Camp, Okavango Delta

Duba Explorers Camp is made up of five expedition-style tents of light airy canvas on slightly raised decking, each with views of the surrounding floodplain. Each tent has a small desk and private verandah plus en-suite facilities consisting of flush loo, double basins and indoor shower.

The main area is under sweeping marquis canvas, on raised decking and consists of an open-concept dining and lounge area which opens to the outdoors on all sides. In the evenings, the fire pit is always a popular spot to enjoy an Amarula and recount the day’s events.

Access is via a long wooden bridge that crosses the channel in front of the camp. The camp is a crossover of Zarafa Camp and Selinda Explorers Camp. A quite unique plunge pool, built on the back of an old lorry, stands right by the water and offers both refreshment and a view of the passing elephants.

Location
The camp is situated in the northern reaches of the 33'000 hectare Duba concession and surrounded on all sides by pristine Okavango Delta. The camp sits quite a distance from the original Duba Plains camp.

Duba Explorers Camp is only accessible by light aircraft, normally to Duba's Omdop Airstrip and from there by helicopter in 5 minutes directly to the camp. Flight time to Maun in a Cessna Caravan is 30 minutes, and 1 hour 20 minutes to Kasane.

The premier Duba Plains Camp is the choice for guests who look for a true luxury option in the original Duba Plains area.
