Botswana and South Africa

You will be met on arrival at Kasane Airport for your road transfer to Ngoma Safari Lodge, a luxury five-star riverside lodge located in Northern Botswana within the Chobe Forest Reserve bordering the Chobe National Park with unrivalled views of the Chobe River and the adjacent floodplains. Just 55 kms from Kasane and 135 kms from the mighty Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, Ngoma Safari Lodge offers 8 thatched river-facing suites which all have spacious internal and external living areas, a bath, an inside and outside shower, overhead fans, air conditioning, mini-bar, tea/coffee facilities and a private plunge pool. Each of the suites has a view of the river and offers the opportunity to see the famous Chobe elephants, migrating zebra or buffalo grazing on the floodplains, depending on the season.
Because of its location outside Chobe National Park, there is more flexibility with activities. Activities included are game drives in Chobe National Park, night drives in the concession area, boat cruises and guided walks as well as visits to the local village, clinic and school.
Ngoma Safari Lodge is a joint community and privately funded project in association with the Chobe Enclave Conservation Trust (CECT). Therefore, rest assured that the local community benefits financially from each and every guest’s visit to the lodge.

Set in a scenic spot overlooking the Khwai River, the camp boasts ongoing animal sightings due to its prime setting. Built in the classic 1950s style, it has the charming safari feel of a bygone era and attractive furnishings throughout.
Accommodation is in 4 luxury tents, of which two are for families. Spacious and constructed on elevated platforms, they feature basic electricity and private verandahs from where guests can make the most of the floodplain views. Meandering forest pathways link to the open-plan main areas ideal for socialising or dining whilst absorbing the picturesque scenery. A pool affords welcome relief during warm days.
In terms of Game activities, Little Machamba Camp offers a wide variety of animals. The size of the herds and the variety of animal species are spectacular. Highlights include the buffalo and elephant herds, and the predatory leopards, lions and packs of African wild dogs.

Little Machamba Camp offers different ways to experience the authentic spirit of Africa

To summarize what to expect during your stay at Little Machamba Camp, “come and experience serene surroundings with the hippo and elephants in the river, the game drives with a world-class guide, tracking the leopard and her cub, the sumptuous picnic lunch in the bush, a walk with the zebras, hyena cubs nibbling at the tyres, buffaloes with flaming eyes in the night and the dinners under the starlit African sky with the camp manager”
