      Update from the hides

      From the hides, UncategorizedBy Mashatu PhotographersJuly 7, 20141 Comment

      The C4 hides at Mashatu Game Reserve are in full swing at the moment. The elephant hide has been teeming with bird life, everything ranging from guineafowls to firefinches and parrots. As the great Matabole River slowly dries up the mammals on the reserve – especially the elephants – are becoming more and more dependent on…

      Game Report – September 2013

      Game ReportsBy Mashatu PhotographersOctober 8, 2013Leave a comment

      The atmosphere has been clouded with dust for the last month and we waited in anticipation for the start of the rainy season. At last a thick blanket of clouds rolled in and with it came a cool chill. In less than 12 hours we experienced a 20°C drop in temperature. A cold front swooped…

      Game Report May 2013

      Game ReportsBy Mashatu PhotographersJune 10, 20132 Comments

      The month of May has experienced cooler weather and, although the grass has dried up in all habitats but that of the riverine areas, the trees and bushes are still looking green. No rainfall was recorded during this month and temperatures ranged between 8 and 31°C as we move into the cool dry season. Lions…

      Elephant Update

      Elephant UpdatesBy Mashatu PhotographersJanuary 27, 2013Leave a comment

      There has certainly been a lot of change for the elephants over the first few weeks of the New Year. A gap was shut between early rains in December and minimal rain coming into 2013. Our rain fall total for 2013 is nearly three times that of 2012 as a result of some serious and…

      Elephant update – 24 December 2012

      Elephant UpdatesBy Mashatu PhotographersDecember 26, 2012Leave a comment

      Life at Mashatu continues to be filled with unexpected treasures and beautiful encounters.  The start of December brought relatively heavy rainfall to most of the Tuli area ranging between 10–55mm, which has allowed the browsers, mixed feeders and grazers in particular to recover well from the previous dry conditions. Green grass is growing in large…

      Latest hide action from photographer Mike Dexter

      Photographic HidesBy Mashatu PhotographersDecember 20, 20128 Comments

      Mashatu‘s exclusive photographic hides offer professional and novice photographers the opportunity to get really close to the animals that frequent the area, while being offered the protection of a hide, producing fantastic photographs! Mike Dexter, of C4 Images & Safaris, shares the latest action from the main photographic hide: The early morning means two things…

      Elephant update – 28 November 2012

      Elephant UpdatesBy Mashatu PhotographersNovember 30, 20124 Comments

      November’s elephant activity has shown a combination of behaviours seen over the last few months. Some herds continue to travel in smaller family groups while others have merged their bond groups to form large herds. Large and small groups may remain localized to one area while others traverse the extent of the reserve. The reason…

      Elephant update – 24 October 2012

      Elephant UpdatesBy Mashatu PhotographersOctober 25, 20122 Comments

      This month (and as an American, in the Thanksgiving season) I’d like to offer my thanks for our skilled rangers and the arrival of rain. Our rangers and trackers have an incredible history in the area, with many decades of experience. They have a keen sense for reading animal behavior and responding in a manner…

      Elephant update – 10 October 2012

      Elephant UpdatesBy Mashatu PhotographersOctober 22, 2012Leave a comment

      New leaves are sprouting on fresh shoots. Flowers, insects and birdlife are growing more prolific. Although rainfall continues to be low, with only 5 mm falling during September, it is clear that change is underway across the landscape. And with the return of spring, elephant activity in the Mashatu Game Reserve is on the rise.…
