Little Machaba is a traditional safari-style camp in the game-rich Khwai concession in the northeastern region the Okavango Delta. While it shares the same island as Machaba Camp, it is a much smaller, more intimate camp that is also built on raised decks. The oversized tented deck area forms the social hub of the camp. You can swap stories at the bar, relax in the lounge or gather around the large fire pits to swap stories, fueling the feeling of being on an authentic African safari in the bush.

Little Machaba Camp offers a luxury safari camp with just 4 spacious safari tents, en-suite bathrooms and living areas, not forgetting the romantic outdoor showers. All the tents are situated on decks and the pathways to the tents meander between the large riverine trees. The Main dining and bar area are also on wooden decks overlooking a large flood plain. Africa is a sun-drenched country where summer temperatures often reach the high thirties and low forty-degrees Celsius. After a morning safari, counting the passing clouds while floating in a pool or resting on a sun bed is nothing short of sublime.

The Khwai Concession is situated in the north eastern Okavango adjacent to the Moremi Game Reserve. Activities include morning & evening game drives, walking safaris, mokoros (year round, water dependent), game viewing from the comfort of your own tent, visits to the local community, and after dinner night drives.

Villa Diyafa (from the Arabic “Hospitality”) is a boutique hotel with 10 suites and one villa. Located in the Ambassadors District of Rabat, the design of the hotel’s spaces is inspired by the life and art of Zyriab (789 – 857, who lived in Cordoba-Andalucía, Spain) an exceptional man known for his artistic sensibility and passion for the art of fine living. Zyriab’s life was chosen to accent the interiors of Villa Diyafa: each room, piece of furniture or artwork pays tribute to his vision, and can be felt throughout the Villa Diyafa experience.

Rabat is a modern city with a rich historical heritage. Considered a relatively big city (a population of over 1.2 million), Rabat is a quiet, peaceful and relaxed city with a temperate climate. Its fabulous combination of old and new architecture makes it a wonderful tourist attraction. Rabat is pedestrian friendly; tourists can walk along the city’s old fortifications and historical monuments and take waterfront strolls.

Le Restaurant at Villa Diyafa blends European cuisine with flavorful Moroccan specialties. Its outdoor terraces within the vibrant gardens of the hotel complement a distinctly calm, elegant indoor atmosphere.

Appealing to those who want to connect with the earth, cultures and wildlife in a very up-close and personal way, mobile camps are just that, designed to be relatively easily moved every few days. Namibia supports a unique population of desert-adapted lions that survive in the harsh Namib Desert. The “Desert” lion is a prominent feature in Namibia and is highly valued, both aesthetically and financially, by the growing tourism industry.

With the growing wildlife populations the conflict between lions and the local people has intensified as lions are killing livestock more regularity. Human-lion conflict is arguably the biggest threat to lions in Namibia, and elsewhere in Africa. There is need for proactive management of human-lion conflict to ensure the long-term conservation of the species. The Desert Lion Conservation project was started in 1998 by Dr. Flip Stander with the aim to collect sound ecological data, address human-lion conflicts, and to develop a conservation strategy. Lions are fitted with radio collars and are tracked and observed to record behavior, movements, grouping patterns, reproduction and mortality.

While at camp, you stay in 3m x 3m x 2m igloo/dome tents with built in groundsheets and mosquito screens on all doors and windows. Each tent is equipped with a robust light, bedside table, camp beds, and a bed roll containing mattress, duvet, pillow, sheet, basic toiletries and towel. The camp site has shared ablution facilities with field toilets and hot bucket showers.
