Overview

Join us for the Ultimate Wildlife Photography Safari: Mashatu Game Reserve – : A SADC SPECIAL SAFARI

This unforgettable photographic adventure in one of Africa’s most breathtaking and wildlife-rich destinations: Mashatu Game Reserve, located in the remote eastern corner of Botswana. Here, at the confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers, Botswana meets South Africa and Zimbabwe in a uniquely diverse and dramatic landscape.

From expansive plains and lush riverine forests to rocky hills, marshlands, and towering sandstone ridges, Mashatu offers an incredible variety of terrain that sets the stage for world-class wildlife photography.

Renowned for its exceptional big cat sightings, especially leopards lounging in the giant Mashatu trees, the reserve is also home to lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and a rich array of other wildlife including elephants, eland, wildebeest, zebra, impala, and bushbuck. Bird enthusiasts will be thrilled too—with over 360 species recorded, the opportunities for avian photography are just as rewarding.
