Named after the Kiri channel which flows past the island; the use of wood, canvas, and reeds are primary to the architecture of this stunning camp. Kiri Camp is a fully inclusive, family-friendly accommodation safari camp in the Gomoti area, Okavango Delta in Botswana with both land and water activities.
Machaba Camps / Kiri Camp are environmentally friendly safari camps consciously forgoing certain conveniences like hairdryers and aircon. They rely on alternative energy. A hybrid of solar energy and a backup generator; using low energy consuming appliances and light bulbs to lighten the load on the planet. The campsites can be rehabilitated in 1.5 years because there are no permanent fixtures. Separate Bio Plants manage the kitchen, laundry, and staff village solids.
There are 10 Luxury Tents in total, 8 x Luxury Tents and 2 x Family Luxury Tents. Therefore Kiri Camp can accommodate up to a maximum of 24 guests.
Each of the luxury canvas tents sits on elevated decks; on the side of a slope. This offers guests privacy, comfort, and unrivaled sweeping views over the Kiri Channel and flood plains. The camp has been designed so that the tents blend into the background; leaving the visiting animals to be the stars of the show.
The accommodation at Kiri Camp is a masterful blend of modernity, comfort, and exposure to untamed wildlife. Inspired by the spirit of the safaris of old. The designer tents offer the convenience of running hot and cold water, flush toilets, and electricity. Therefore; offering guests the best of both worlds.
