Stunning Mashatu Private Game Reserve is found in the South East corner of Botswana and is part of the Tuli Block. The block is a narrow wedge of land, famous for its colossal Baobab trees, big game and towering rock formations. Rightly termed the land of the giants, Mashatu and the surrounding area is a vast open space filled with unspoilt vistas and a remote escape from the outside world.
The area is rich in history, embark on excellent archaeology tours of the Motloutse Ruins; once the royal dwelling of the Leopard Kopje Dynasty. The Dynasty was renowned for its Iron Age mining power and complex processes to mine gold and other metals. The old stone walls of the ruins are still considered sacred by some locals who refuse to visit. Mashatu is also home to some early signs of man, dating back around 200,000 years - there's the chance to discover early San Bushman tools from the Stone Age and prolific rock art. Not to mention dinosaur footprints of Vhembe, thought to be 50-100 million years old.
Filled with exciting activities enjoy thrilling game drives or, for a slightly more unique adventure, take on walking or horseback safaris. Very much unchanged since the days of early explorers, step back in time and enjoy the untouched plains of Mashatu
