Monachira Camp
Eco-luxury tented camp · North-eastern Moremi water country · Machaba Safaris
High-end
Inside the park
Safari company
Opened in May 2025, which makes it the newest camp actually inside Moremi rather than in the concessions around it. Machaba Safaris is a family-founded independent operator with its head office in Maun and a South African reservations office; not Botswana-owned, but firmly locally rooted and far from a faceless international group.

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 Monachira Camp
Is Monachira Camp good for families?
Yes, in principle. The operator's page describes Monachira Camp as open to all ages, with two family tents alongside eight double tents for up to 24 guests. No specific minimum age is stated, so confirm sleeping arrangements for your group when you book.
Can you do night drives at Monachira Camp?
Not confirmed either way. Monachira Camp sits inside Moremi Game Reserve, confirmed on the operator's own page, but neither that page nor our records state whether night drives or off-road driving are offered here. Ask the operator directly, since park rules inside the reserve can restrict both.
When did Monachira Camp open?
Our records say Monachira Camp opened in May 2025, making it the newest camp genuinely inside Moremi, but the operator's own page does not state an opening date. Confirm directly with Machaba Safaris if an exact opening date matters for your planning.
