Nambwa Tented Lodge is uniquely situated inside the Bwabwata National Park in the heart of KAZA, nestled high amongst majestic trees, honouring the elephants’ right of way below. An authentic walkway joins decadently spacious tented suites, which emanate a feeling of vastness and evoke a gentle balance of serenity. Here, you can enjoy memorable African experiences on foot, by boat or vehicle, up close and personal with some of the biggest herds of elephants. Soak up the breathtaking sunsets over the infamous Horseshoe Lagoon with animals silhouetted in purple hues over the water.
Machaba Camp is a classic camp decorated in an understated 1950s colonial style. Lying on the banks of the Khwai River and boasting views of the Moremi Game Reserve, it is one of the most exquisite, affordable camps within the region. With its 10 tented rooms, relaxed feel, and abundance of game viewing and fine dining opportunities, it makes for the ideal safari destination for couples and families. Whether it’s taking a game drive or a walking safari, skimming over the waters of the Okavango Delta in a mokoro canoe, spotting predators at night or visiting a remote village school, the guides will show you Africa.
All year round is good for both destinations, and each time of the year has a different appeal. In both areas, it can be very hot and humid in the month of October. The main rainy season for both regions is between November and February, but even this period, which is known as the “green season,” is a wonderful time to visit. The floodwaters build, peaking in September, and the thinning foliage allows for greater visibility in spotting wildlife.
Easily customisable to extend or reduce stays in each of the destinations or even substitute an alternative property within the Okavango Delta, should availability be limited for the period you wish to travel over. There are multiple access points for each destination and the order of the itinerary can be reversed as well.
Machaba is one of the few safari lodges in Botswana where children of all ages are welcome. Two sets of family tents at Machaba camp each have two separate sleeping areas, each with its own oversized bed, comfortably catering for four guests in total.
When packing for a safari holiday, including Botswana, less is more. The maximum luggage allowance on scheduled charter aircraft flights is 20 kg (44 lb) per person in soft-sided luggage, plus one piece of hand luggage or a camera bag. Where space allows, additional seats may be booked for excess luggage. Each additional seat that you book enables you to travel with an additional 70 kg (154 lb) of luggage.
