Overview of Mashatu Main Camp

Featuring a floodlit waterhole that gives its guests an insight into Africa’s nocturnal wildlife, Mashatu Main Camp is located in the private Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana’s Tuli Block. A small, intimate but family-friendly camp of only 14 suites, the focus here is on delivering a comprehensive game viewing and cultural experience in the little-visited south-east corner of Botswana. Set out at dawn and dusk with dedicated Tswana rangers and trackers on game drives to spot the famous big game of the region.

Hear about the fascinating protection and conservation initiatives in the camp’s Discovery Room and visit the historical Motloutse Ruins and Pitsani Koppie sites for a cultural alternative. And when the day is done, relax in the plush lounge or enjoy a sundowner at the Gin Trap bar while gazing out over the waterhole.
