Wake up surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness and prepare for a full-day safari adventure. After breakfast, your expert guides will take you on unforgettable game drives exploring the river systems and floodplains around camp.

Morning and afternoon/evening drives (each about 3 hours) offer the chance to spot large predators, impressive elephant and buffalo herds, and a wide variety of plains game. In the evening, venture out on a night drive, where spotlights reveal elusive nocturnal species and smaller creatures of the bush.

After a day filled with breathtaking encounters, return to Machaba Camp for dinner under the stars and an overnight stay in your luxury tented suite.
