Open vehicle Safaris from camp take place during the morning and late afternoon into the evening. You can look out for four of the Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, and buffalo! The reserve’s smaller predators include cheetah, hyena, jackals, and wild dog, while other herbivore highlights consist of giraffe, zebra, and a lot of antelopes. Walking safaris are available whenever an expert walking guide is in camp. It’s fantastic for safarists interested in learning about Khwai’s plants, insects, and birds in exquisite detail. Mokoro excursions are on offer if the water levels permit. Unlike a motorized boat, it floats silently through the water, offering opportunities for all aboard to focus on the sounds as well as the sights of wildlife such as elephants, hippos, and some vibrant waterbirds. Guests of Machaba are invited to visit the local community. This is an excellent opportunity to find out about the local people’s ways of life, and a first-class cultural add-on to your traditional safari.
