Mashatu is the epitome of all that defines wilderness areas in Africa. A hidden gem situated in Botswana, Mashatu Game Reserve consists of 42,000 hectares of privately owned land in the conserved wilderness area known as the Northern Tuli Game Reserve.

The reserve lies in the remote eastern corner of Botswana where the great Limpopo and Shashe Rivers converge, where Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe come together. This exceptionally diverse landscape includes wide open plains, grassland, riverine forests, rocky hills, marshland and majestic sandstone ridges.

This luxury 4-star camp has a swimming pool tucked away against giant rocks, a romantic star gazing deck, a hide and walking trail within the lodge grounds, as well as its own vegetable garden which supplies the kitchen with fresh ingredients.

Season

With an average of 94% ran free days in the year, Mashatu is a year-round safari destination.

January to the end of April welcomes guests to a short, green blanket over the open plains (maximum 20cm high grass) and photographers love this period becuase the grass is so short; a high photographic hit rate. 

Winter( June-August) is beautiful and very mild, while September to the end of November is warm with gorgeous orange and brown hues.
