With in the Northern Tuli game reserve tucked away into the most eastern corner of Botswana lays Mashatu privately owned game reserve. This is a land unlike anything else in Botswana, it is drier than the Delta, yet has large river courses unlike anything in the Kalahari. Straddling the Shashe, Motloutse and Limpopo Rivers, which serve as natural boundaries with Zimbabwe and South Africa, the Northern Tuli Game Reserve (NTGR) comprises 71,000 hectares of remarkably diverse habitat, including Mophane bush land, riverine woodland, and marshland, punctuated by towering sandstone cliffs, basalt formations and unusually shaped kopjes – making for truly breath taking scenery.

ITINERARY
This safari will consist of an itinerary as such:

Day 1
You will arrive at Mashatu at midday. Your professional photographer and host will open proceedings with a short talk on what we can expect over weekend. Drive 1 is about enjoying and relaxing. This drive is used to take photos as you are used to, so that it sets the benchmark to measure the images taken at the end of the weekend against. Before dinner, the photo guide will give a short presentation showing a variety of images and how, by using specific aspects, you can alter and change an image dramatically.
Day 2
Over the next few days the daily activity will be the same as day 2
05h30 | Early morning Game drive/Photo Hide |
