Predator game viewing at Masahtu has been on top form over the past week. On the cheetah front we have had regular sightings of the female cheetah and her cub. Despite losing the majority of her litter the female cheetah has successfully reared a female cub to almost one year of age. …
Game drives in any reserve in any country are a gamble. There are so many variables influencing where the animals are and what they’re doing, even more so in a large, unfenced reserve such as Mashatu. Even so, it’s unheard of for guests to return to camp feeling as though their drive was a waste…
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…

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.

The first cheetah in The Northern Tuli Game Reserve has been collared! The cheetah is a mother with five sub-adult cubs that are about one year old. The family was spotted resting in the shade of a shepherd tree in an open plain; we couldn’t have asked for a better situation. When the mother was…
What a week it’s been! The Wild dogs, tracked down on a predator drive, made a flash appearance in the western area of Mashatu. It’s a rocky and wild region, seldom visited by the rangers on regular game drives. On this day however, an extra effort was made by all to catch a glimpse of…
The last couple of days at Mashatu have been rainy, but very pleasant to say the least. The gentle drizzle that has been falling on the landscape has transformed it from dry and dusty to lush and aroma-filled. Most of the antelope have given birth by now, so there are plenty of impala, wildebeest and…
