Tuli Safari Lodge Mashatu

Tuli Safari Lodge Mashatu is an exciting new addition to the Mashatu portfolio, set on the bank of the mighty Limpopo River, with beautiful rolling lawns surrounded by sandstone outcrops. This camp has a swimming pool tucked away against the giant rocks, a stargazing deck, a hide and walking trail within the lodge grounds, as well as its own vegetable garden which supplies the kitchen.

Eight luxury tented suites are spacious, airy and elevated. They present themselves as draped canvas walls and roofs over timber frames. Large wrap-around decks provide a relaxing outdoor space with views over the Tuli and surrounding bush. The interiors are a modern interpretation of the classic ‘out of Africa’ décor, with a flowing open plan design. All suites feature an island bed, lounge area, freestanding bath, fans, large separate shower, double basin vanity area, separate W.C. and ample storage space.

A highlight at Tuli Safari Lodge Mashatu is the experience of the “moving tables” – dinner and brunch in a different location for each meal. On a 2-night stay guests would experience a bush brunch or dinner, as well as private dining set up in surprise spots around the camp, or on their own patios (private dining on request). The extensive lodge gardens and grounds include a large swimming pool, waterhole, hide and walking trail. Additional activities offered exclusively at Tuli Safari Lodge Mashatu are after dinner night drives, and cultural experiences/village tours (a full day’s activity).

About Mashatu Game Reserve

Mashatu Game Reserve is situated at the confluence of the great Limpopo and Shashe Rivers in the remote eastern corner of Botswana. This area is known historically as the Tuli Enclave and it is here where the three countries; Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe converge. In addition to this large conservation area, Mashatu Game Reserve offers refuge to the largest elephant population on a private reserve on the African continent.

The most commonly used entry point for visitors to Mashatu Game Reserve is through the Pont Drift Border Post between South Africa and Botswana, and the Limpopo Valley Airfield on Mashatu.

Please note that officials at both the South African and Botswana customs and immigration offices strictly enforce the Pont Drift Border Post operating times which are to open at 8.00 am and to close at 4.00 pm. Road transfers from Polokwane to Mashatu Game Reserve take approximately 2 hours.
