Following on from Amanda’s recent radio interview on Cotswold Radio we thought we might highlight different aspects of a safari for each of our clients. Be it a family, a multi-gen group or an older couple – our clients appeal to most markets.
With a selection of camps in Botswana and Zimbabwe, Machaba takes your Africa safari to another level. Botswana and Zimbabwe are about numbers and in particular, those of the elephant! If clients want elephants in abundance then this is where to send them! Options to see elephants from a mokoro, crossing the Chobe River or for the even more adventurous, on foot in Mana Pools or Hwange. Walking with elephants to find the elusive Boswell, is incredible. The professional walking guides in Zimbabwe are the platinum level and the Machaba guides rank amongst the best.
Most camps are family friendly, with interleading tents. Some do have age restrictions.
When it comes to LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION, these camps have it all.
The beautiful luxury tented, Crater’s Edge is located on the north eastern side of the Ngorongoro Crater, just 10 minutes from the crater floor, which must make it one of the best locations when it comes to access. Get down into the crater before anyone else and enjoy this incredible wildlife area in peace.
Warangi might be near Seronera, but this lovely tented camp has 2000 ha of private traversing, allowing guests to do night drives and walking safaris.
Kambaku’s two lodges make it simple to separate families from couples looking for some peace and quiet.
Kambaku Safari Lodge, with it’s interleading rooms is ideal for families and the children are entertained on the Kambaku Kubs programme
Kambaku River Sands is the ideal camp for couples and honeymooners and the lovely spa and the sleep out hide add to the experience.
As South Africa’s original photographic safari company, MalaMala has always been known for its extraordinary wildlife experience.
In recent years MalaMala has taken on a new slant, with the community involvement and a total revamp of the whole hospitality experience.
The Junior Ranger programme at MalaMala Camp gives parents a break in the afternoon, while the children are entertained and educated by the rangers
Sable Camp is slightly more intimate and with no children under 12, makes a great option for couples wanting a little down time.
And for the ultimate luxury, the newly refurbed and transformed Rattrays is the answer.
Always known for their amazing honeymoon packages, Garonga offers romantic options at all three of the camps.
The original romance of Garonga Safari Camp, the thatched option of the Hambleden Suite at Little Garonga or an ‘out of Africa’ feel at MCH Luxury Tented Camp.
When it comes to families or multi gen trips – the size of the camps makes it perfect for exclusive use and don’t forget – children stay free in the Hambleden Suite.

In Botswana and Zimbabwe, conservation is not just a policy — it’s a way of life.
Both countries have long recognised the importance of safeguarding their wild, unspoiled landscapes through strong environmental protection laws.
At Machaba Safaris, we share this vision. Our camps are designed to exist in harmony with the wilderness — protecting wildlife, empowering communities, and ensuring that sustainable tourism continues to benefit both people and planet for generations to come.
