Mashatu Tented Camp

This camp caters for a maximum of 16 guests so the main area is small and intimate. It encourages congenial interaction and an inclusive atmosphere. Meals convene in the outdoor boma or under the shady thatched lapa, where you can watch the goings-on at the busy camp waterhole. There's a refreshing plunge pool which provides much needed relief from the relentless summer sun. But it's the exquisite setting in a riverine forest on the banks of the Nyaswe river that gives this camp its charm.

Each of the eight private tents is raised on a concrete platform ensuring an uninterrupted view of the riverbed below. After an adventure-filled day, you're guaranteed a good night's sleep in one of the large twin beds. Each tent has its own outdoor shower and WC. The camp only caters for kids 12 and up so there is no family suite. Instead, these comfortable tents in a rustic setting make for peaceful seclusion which is a luxury in itself.

This intimate tented camp is discreetly nestled under the branches of some giant leadwoods, sicamore figs and Ana trees on the banks of a beautiful perennial river. The reserve offers the highest quality game viewing and bush adventures from up-close encounters with Africa's large predators to horse-back riding, hiking trails, quad-biking and mountain biking.
