Location:

Mashatu Game Reserve is located within the Limpopo-Shashe Transfrontier Conservation Area, developed on the 22nd of June 2006. The three countries of Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana pledged to develop a reserve to protect and maintain the natural surroundings of all animals indigenous to the area. Located on the border between South Africa and Botswana, Mashatu is perfected situated for a getaway of more than a day. Due to its unique location, we recommend that guests either fly in for their safari or spend a night or two within the reserve so as not to rush the soulful experience which you are bound to have in the reserve.

Safari Features:

Mashatu offers a variety of safaris which will delight and surprise you as you are lead through the reserve by knowledgeable guides and rangers. Take your children along on the specially designed childrens programme or, for the more adventurous, choose between a horse or mountain bike safari or a predator or ivory drive (seeking out elephants or lions respectively). Stay at one of two camps (or hop from one to the other on each night) within Mashatu, the main camp or the luxurious tented camp.
