Safari company
The four-tent sister camp to Machaba, in the Khwai community concession on the reserve's northern boundary. Machaba describe it as an intimate and exclusive stay without giving up comfort: four tents, a quiet atmosphere and personal service in game-rich country. They put it forward for couples, families and small groups who want something more private, and they name value as part of the reason people pick it.

What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Moremi Game Reserve charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entryP270 for non-residents, roughly $20.
- $20per person, per day
- VehicleP75 a day for a foreign-registered vehicle, roughly $6.
- $6per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $138 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.

Questions about Little Machaba
Is Little Machaba good for families?
Only partly. The operator's own page states no children under 12 unless the entire camp is booked as an exclusive buyout, which our records put at up to 12 guests. Families with younger children should plan for a full-camp booking rather than a standard stay.
How many guests can stay at Little Machaba?
Little Machaba has only four tents, two standard and two family, for a standard maximum of eight guests. On a full exclusive buyout, our records show it can take up to 12, which is also when the under-12 age restriction is lifted.
How much does Little Machaba cost?
Our records show a rate from $718 per person sharing, fully inclusive, but the operator's own page does not confirm this nightly figure. Confirm current pricing directly with Machaba Safaris, especially if you are planning a full-camp buyout for a larger family group.
