Is This Trip for Me?

Mashatu Game Reserve comprises 31,000 hectares (76600 acres) of privately owned land in the conserved wilderness area known as the Northern Tuli Game Reserve. The reserve lies in the eastern extremity of Botswana where the great Limpopo and Shashe Rivers converge. This exceptionally diverse landscape includes wide open plains, grassland, riverine forests, rocky hills, marshland and majestic sandstone ridges.

The reserve offers amazing photographic safaris, especially with their hide by the water-hole. They have 3 of the Big Five, namely the leopard, the lion and the elephant which are complimented by some lesser well-known, but interesting, species, including the aardwolf (or “earth wolf”), the bat-eared fox, the African wildcat, the honey badger, the spotted hyena and the black-backed jackal.
