      An long overdue update from Mashatu Game Reserve

      CyberDiaries, Game ReportsBy Mashatu PhotographersFebruary 26, 20143 Comments

      After Mashatu’s downpours just before Christmas in December 2013, ranger Fish captured the above image of the most incredible sighting of a herd of elephants grazing on the just-emerged Devil’s Thorn flower. This signature yellow carpet is just one of the things we love so much about Mashatu – not just for its beauty, but…

      Lion and Leopard Capture 2013 – Andrei Snyman

      CyberDiaries, Research MashatuBy Mashatu PhotographersJuly 12, 20134 Comments

      Most viable large carnivore populations in Africa are now restricted to protected areas. African lion (Panthera leo) populations have been particularly hard-hit in recent decades, with many lion populations being restricted to small reserves geographically isolated from each other. Lions have vanished from over 80% of their historic range, and it is estimated that in…

      Cyberdiary – 13 May 2013

      CyberDiariesBy Mashatu PhotographersMay 13, 2013Leave a comment

      With the onset of autumn, the landscape of Mashatu is reflecting the warm colours associated with this time of year. The last few butterflies still remain, and some of the migratory birds can still be found, but the harsh sun has definitely been replaced by a cool breeze. On the last predator drive the old…

      Cyberdiary – 25 March 2013

      CyberDiaries, UncategorizedBy Mashatu PhotographersMarch 28, 20137 Comments

      Matswane, the old lion with one eye, has come back to Mashatu after almost a year of residing in the Tuli Circle in Zimbabwe. He was successfully tracked down on a predator drive just west of Mashatu Main Camp. His sudden appearance is intriguing, as his former territory, around the central area was taken over…

      CyberDiariesBy Mashatu PhotographersMarch 4, 2013Leave a comment

      Mashatu is simply bursting at the seams with life. The heavy rains of January have brought about a full flush of growth which will dazzle the senses. Game drives take guests through a sea of fragrant flowers – kilometers of vivid colours against the far reaching expanse of greenery. Looking upwards we see a dazzling…

      Cyberdiary – February 2013

      CyberDiariesBy Mashatu PhotographersMarch 4, 20131 Comment

      Over the last few weeks Mashatu has undergone a remarkable and miraculous transformation. The drought that devastated the region for more than a year was violently broken by tremendous widespread rainfall. By now the water has sunk deep into the soil and the seeds which have lain dormant throughout the drought have thrust fresh shoots…

      Ecosystem Overview – January 2013

      CyberDiariesBy Mashatu PhotographersFebruary 15, 2013Leave a comment

      New Year’s Eve brought great hopes for rainfall in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve, when several millimeters were received at the stroke of midnight. Average rainfall for the greater reserve is estimated to be around 400mm, but last year produced only 100.5mm for Main Camp. Moving into January, hopes were rising that 2013 would bring…

      A tense moment in the bush between predators

      CyberDiariesBy Mashatu PhotographersFebruary 7, 2013Leave a comment

      On the morning of January 7th, ranger Bashi and his guests – regulars from Italy – had a nice sighting of a mother leopard and her small two month old cub. Later that evening they returned to the area in the hope of having another glimpse. The scene had dramatically changed, however. The mother was…

      Cyberdiary – 10 October 2012

      CyberDiariesBy Mashatu PhotographersOctober 10, 20122 Comments

      Windy conditions were experienced the past couple of days out in the bush. Temperatures were mild at midday, and evenings were considered perfect. The night sky is nothing short of spectacular, with a starry-host that is second-to-none. Elephant herds are still concentrated along the southern regions of Mashatu, around the alluvial floodplains close to the…
