machaba camp

Machaba is the local Setswana name for the sycamore fig tree, 'the tree of life'. The tree is plentiful in the Okavango Delta as well as most African riverine forests.

The fruit, of the machaba, which is abundant throughout the year, feeds a variety of animals including elephants, bush bucks and baboons, plus many more.
