5 DAY MASHATU LODGE & TENTED CAMP
Land of the Giants Safari

4 Night Safari Special

In the remote eastern corner of Botswana, at the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe rivers, lies an area known historically as the Tuli enclave - a diverse wilderness of savannah, riverine forests, marshland, open plains and sandstone outcrops.

It is here that you will find Mashatu Game Reserve.

The name is derived from the magnificent mashatu trees, which occur throughout this immense tract of privately owned land. Mashatu is also the home of no less than seven of Africa's giants: the African elephant, the lion, giraffe, the baobab tree, the eland, the ostrich, and the kori bustard. It is fitting therefore, that some 75,000 acres / 30,000 hectares of pristine game land, be set aside for these unique, prodigious features of this exhilarating continent.

Mashatu Game Reserve, an area of history and legend, offers some of the most exciting game viewing in Africa. It is a place of exceptional beauty where one can explore the rugged, unspoilt African landscapes either in the comfort of open 4-wheel drive vehicles or on mountain bicycles, guided by expert rangers and experienced trackers.

The excitement of Mashatu has not changed over time. it is still home to large herds of elephant, prides of lion and cheetah. Along the river courses, huge mashatu trees provide shade for eland, impala, wildebeest, giraffe and zebra, whilst at night, the bat-eared fox, African wild cat and the magnificent leopard search for prey.

Some 350 species of birds may be seen. Mashatu Game Reserve proudly provides a refuge for the largest, single population of elephant on privately owned land in Africa. Known as the relic herds of Shashe, these elephants are the last living testament to the great herds that once populated the meandering Limpopo valley. Today, the population on Mashatu Game Reserve alone, is estimated to number in excess of 700.

Whether you visit Mashatu for the excitement of the big game viewing, the relaxation of unspoilt Africa or the quiet luxury of the camps, you will not be disappointed.

Mashatu Lodge for 2 nights
Mashatu Main Camp now has 12 suites with "his" and "hers" bathrooms in each room (not absolutely essential - but a comfort especially before those early morning game drives), with French doors that open onto a shaded veranda surrounded by Africa's flora and faunas.

Mashatu Tented Camp for 2 nights
Nestled in the remote northern area of the reserve lies Mashatu Tent Camp. With never more than fourteen guests, this idyllic getaway provides accommodation in the form of seven twin tents. Although rustic in character every facility is provided. The tents are insect-proofed, have comfortable beds and each has an en-suite shower and W.C. facility.

There is an open-sided thatched deck where meals are served, and a traditional boma for intimate campfire dinners. This camp also contains a very welcome plunge pool. Your total comfort is the priority of your hosts. While on game drives, or mountain biking safaris, you will be taken care of by your ranger and on your return to base, the camp staff will gladly attend to your every need.
