Mashatu Main Camp
Mashatu Main Camp is located in the Tuli Block in the far eastern corner of Botswana, within the privately-owned Mashatu Game Reserve.
The camp offers 14 tastefully and authentically decorated suites. Each suite is furnished with two three-quarter beds and a day bed. Luxury en-suite bathrooms include a shower, bath, his and hers basins and toilet. A private lounge area overlooks the unfenced surrounding bush and 24-hour temperature control completes the comfort of each suite.
The camp is elevated around a waterhole and offers excellent game viewing opportunities. The dining area, stunning day lounge and "Gin Trap" bar provide diverse lookouts from which to enjoy and appreciate the environment.
Facilities include a swimming pool, an air-conditioned lounge and dining room and a lala-palm enclosed African boma, in which dinners are enjoyed under the magnificent African night sky and around a blazing fire.
A particular feature at Main Camp is the Discovery Room: base for the scientific research conducted at Mashatu and a magnifying glass though which the animals and history of Mashatu can be examined. This provides a fascinating insight into the world that is Mashatu - the Land of the Giants.
The wildlife experience at Mashatu is personalised. Dedicated, experienced Tswana rangers and trackers are keen to show you their world. Radio-linked 4x4 vehicles set out at dawn and again at dusk in search of the diverse variety of fauna and flora which abound throughout the reserve. 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 is also able to offer activities conducted by research scientists and concessionaires based on Mashatu Game Reserve. The applicable fee assists in the funding of the scientists’ research. These activities should be pre-booked prior to arrival at the camps to ensure availability. Other adventure activities, available at a small additional charge, include cycle and horse safaris and walking safaris with a specialist guide.
Mashatu is home to the largest single population of elephant on privately owned land in Africa. In addition prides of lion and cheetah can be found here. Along the river courses, huge Mashatu trees provide shade for eland, impala, wildebeest, giraffe and zebra. As night falls, the bat-eared fox, African wildcat and magnificent leopard search for prey. Some 366 species of birds may be seen.
