Transfer from Mont Rochelle to the Cape Town Airport to meet your early morning flight to Johannesburg/Lanseria Airport. Here you will connect to the Angel Gabriel flight directly into Mashatu Game Reserve and your home away from home for the next four nights.
Mashatu Game Reserve is located in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve of Botswana bordering South Africa. It is the embodiment of all that defines Africa. Space so open and vast, taking it all in is almost too much; an array of wildlife from the gigantic to the miniscule; majestic skies open to the universe and unfettered by smog; a quiet so loud it thrums with life; and unexpected adventure beyond the game drive with horse-back safaris, cycling safaris and walks in the wild.
Mashatu Lodge is an oasis among the undulating and seemingly endless plains of the wild. Burning torches at the camp’s entrance lure safari-goers home, where they experience the embodiment of sublime hospitality.
For someone who is accustomed to luxury, this camp will meet every expectation. 14 luxury suites lie along the camp’s perimeter, and are designed to allow absolute privacy and a communion with the bush and its inhabitants. Watch elephants splashing at the waterhole, listen to the lyrical melody of the woodlands kingfisher on a branch overhead, smell the grassy scent of the bushveld, and touch the bark of an ancient tree and inhale a breath of air so pure, it’s intoxicating.
Activities include game drives. Safari vehicles meander into the bush twice a day, bringing visitors into close contact with an Africa that is largely known only in wildlife documentaries and glossy books. But this Africa is real, and distinctly tangible through all six senses. Other adventure activities are available at additional cost.
Rates are inclusive of accommodation, meals, game drives and a conservation levy of $10.00 per person per night. The conservation levy is charged on all nights, including the free night.
Rates exclude all adventure activities, bar service, laundry, curios purchased, communication costs, extra activities and transport to and from the reserve.
