Mashatu Game Reserve In the remote eastern corner Botswana, at the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe rivers, lies an area known historically as the Tuli enclave -- a unique wilderness of savannah, riverine forests, marshland, open plains and sandstone cliffs. It is here that the largest of the Rattray Reserves - Mashatu Game Reserve - is situated. Mashatu Game Reserve gets its name from the enormous Mashatu tree Xanthocercis zambesiaca which occurs throughout this immense tract of privately owned land. Perhaps by some stroke of fate, Mashatu is home to a number of Africa's other giants: the African elephant, the baobab tree, the eland, the ostrich, the kori bustard, and Kipling's mighty Limpopo River. All under the endless African sky. It is fitting that some 90,000 acres of pristine game land has been set aside for these giants of Africa in this unique corner of Botswana. |

The wildlife experience at Mashatu is personalized and unforgettable. Dedicated, experienced Tswana rangers and trackers are keen to show you their world. The four-wheel drive safari vehicles set out at dawn and again at dusk in search of the variety of species which abound in the reserve. Some 350 species of birds may be seen, while, out on the plains, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, eland, impala, steenbok and the breeding herds of elephants are encountered. At both Mashatu Main Camp or Mashatu Tent Camp your total comfort is the priority of your hosts. While out on game drives 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. |
