Discover Mashatu Tent Camp

Situated in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve of Botswana, bordering South Africa, Mashatu Game Reserve is a privately owned conserved wilderness area with a diverse landscape of grassland, wide open plains, rocky hills, riverine forests, marshland, and majestic sandstone ridges.

Mashatu Tent Camp is completely at one with the environment. It has an intimate setting of eight private tents tucked under the branches of enormous trees, all accessible via meandering pathways. Simple meals are shared with all guests at the camp either in the open-air thatched gazebo or in the boma (enclosure) overlooking the floodlit, well-populated waterhole. There is also a plunge pool to enable you to cool off and escape the relentless heat typical of the summer months.
