Owner's Message
At the junction of Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa, lies one of the brightest stars in the Botswana tourism universe: the Mashatu Game Reserve. This 32,000-hectare (7,660-acre) expanse of pristine wilderness is home to some of the continent's largest elephant herds. Guests can observe Africa's predators, lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, jackal and African wildcat on a daily basis.
Mashatu Lodge is an oasis among the rolling and seemingly endless plains of nature. For the guest who is accustomed to luxury, this camp will meet all expectations.
14 luxury suites stretch along the perimeter of the camp and are designed to allow absolute privacy and communion with the bush and its inhabitants. Watch elephants frolic at the waterhole, listen to the lyrical melody of the kingfisher on a branch above your head, smell the bushveld grass, touch the bark of an ancient tree and breathe air so pure it's intoxicating.
Each of Mashatu Lodge's air-conditioned suites is tastefully decorated with impressive black and white prints of Africa's finest animals. A double bed and an extra-large single bed, as well as a sitting area with a single daybed, provide comfortable accommodation for families. A large bathroom with bathtub and shower and a separate toilet complete these well-appointed suites.
This is the ideal camp for the family traveler. A large swimming pool is the focal point where visitors to Mashatu Lodge can cool off and relax between hunting activities. The Discovery Room is the portal through which curious visitors can get a glimpse of another world - a world that existed long before man appeared. Animal specimens and relics will fascinate and educate visitors of all ages.

The Game drives were next level, the animals were sooo close. Watching them in their natural environment was mind blowing.
I can not speak highly enough about Edward our guide and Oke our tracker, they made us feel comfortable straight away, their kind, friendly and fun approach just made the experience that much better. They were both incredibly knowledgeable, always able to answer every question we had and were always forth coming with great facts on a huge variety of topics.
Lots of OMG moments, loads of laughs, good amount of down time , was really sad to leave. I’ll definitely be back!
