As has become my tradition, I like to end the year with a blog post about my highlights of the year. Just as our many visitors to the reserve tell me, the beauty of getting home and having to sort through their photos is that you get to relive the experience again. Going through a…
Mashatu Game Reserve has grown, and we are delighted to now include Tuli Safari Lodge Mashatu in our portfolio. Mashatu is already well known for its diverse landscapes including savannahs, marshlands, riverine and mopani veld. But most impressive of all is the backdrop to all of this – the incredible rock formations that occur in…
Of all the wild animals in Africa, spotted hyenas are surely among the most maligned. Whether it’s African folklore, Disney movies or wildlife documentaries, they are often depicted as ruthless bullies and scavengers. Their calls can send a chill up many a person’s spine, thanks to them being used to portray danger in the night…
From the 16th August 2021, the Northern Tuli Game Reserve’s (NOTUGRE) ranger team from Afzelia, joined thousands of others rangers across the continent taking part in the Wildlife Ranger Challenge, a series of physical and mental challenges, culminating in a 21km virtual race on Saturday 18th September. The NOTUGRE ranger team was made up of…
From volunteer to Mashatu Lodge Manager, meet Lopang “Lops” Rampeba My love for nature goes far back to a very young age. Just like many young boys in Botswana, it all started at our farm where, as a young boy, I herded goats and later graduated to cattle. Taking care of livestock teaches a young…

All the properties that make up this wildlife area and various other donors, contribute to a conservation trust, The Tuli Conservation Trust (TCT). The funds from this trust are spent on a number of initiatives including conservation, antipoaching and upliftment of the communities…
The journey we have all been on over the last year has been a long and arduous one with many challenges. While we continue to navigate these uncertain times, perhaps we can all take some inspiration from one of nature’s hardest working creatures. Imagine spending your days collecting and rolling large balls of poop in…
So much can change in a short space of time – we all know this now after 2020. It’s no different in the animal kingdom and after a year away, the team at Mashatu has come together again and are excited to be back. Apart from a small team that remained behind as guardians of…
There’s a buzz around the camps at Mashatu Game Reserve as we finally receive our first guests after a year of closure, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which without warning, stopped travel in its tracks. Travel has changed and the world is not yet over the pandemic, but the team here have been working hard…
Mashatu is home to no less than seven of Africa’s ‘giants’ – elephant, lion, giraffe, baobab tree, eland, ostrich and the kori bustard. But we have an eighth giant that is prominent every summer – the armoured cricket. Up to 5cm long, these fat and flightless crickets may not be the prettiest to look at,…
