2024
Go there and contact
Camp with a small swimming pool and very spacious and comfortable tents, with a terrace, and a bathroom.
Located north of the reserve, this camp is suitable for all those who, without air conditioning and great comfort, are looking for an intimate, bush-like experience. Nothing separates the 8 tents lined up on the banks of the Nyaswe River from the bush. The tents are very spacious and comfortable, each with a small terrace and a bathroom with open-air shower. Meals are served at the boma with a view on a water point. A small swimming pool adds to the indefinable charm of this deliciously rustic camp.

Owner's Message
Where Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa meet, exists one of the brightest stars in Botswana’s tourism universe- Mashatu Game Reserve. This 32000-hectare (76600 acre) expanse of pristine wilderness is guardian to some of the largest herds of elephant on the continent. Guests enjoy excellent daily sightings of Africa’s predators, lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, jackal and African wildcat.
A 30 minute vehicle transfer from Mashatu Lodge is a refuge that is very different. The Mashatu Tent Camp is almost one with the environment; blink and you might miss it! This tented camp is the leisure choice for the guest who seeks the ultimate one-on-one bush experience and who prefers a more intimate environment (and no children under the age of 12).
Imagine showering under the stars!
Eight completely private tents are tucked under the branches of enormous trees, accessible via meandering pathways. The tents themselves are spacious, comfortable and large enough that adults need not duck to move around in. Each is mounted on a concrete platform and has its own private outdoor en-suite facilities, including W.C. and shower.
Instant camaraderie is the norm at this unique camp. Mealtimes are shared without pomp and ceremony, either in the open-air thatched gazebo, or in the boma (enclosure) overlooking the floodlit, well-populated waterhole. The camp’s plunge pool invites guests to cool off and escape the relentless heat typical of the summer months.
The sturdy and shaded hide also overlooks the waterhole, and here bush enthusiasts can sit quietly and witness animals going about their day, completely unaware that they are being watched. It is humbling indeed to be an observer, to be part of the perfect, natural world.
