Fourteen spacious suites are privately scattered along the camp’s perimeter, and tastefully decorated to suit the natural surrounds. Kids of all ages are welcome (quad and triple sharing room options are available), and Mashatu is ideal for multi-generational families. Excellent staff (6 were trained at Walt Disney) ensure there is an adventure component to compliment the traditional vehicle safari – cycling, walking and a short cultural excursion.
In addition, the camp has an educational “discovery room” with interesting relics and animal specimens. Between excursions, perhaps cool off in the pool or unwind in the elevated lounge, with its views over an active waterhole. Boma dinners under starry skies and sundowners overlooking glorious landscape add to the traditional safari experience at Mashatu.
