Mashatu's Wildife

Mashatu Game Reserve, an area of history and legend, offers some of the most exciting game viewing in Africa - large herds of elephant, prides of lion, leopard and cheetah. Along the river courses, huge mashatu trees provide shade for large herds of eland, impala, wildebeest, giraffe and zebra, whilst at night, the bat-eared fox, African wild cat and the magnificent leopard search for prey.

Some 366 species of birds may be seen. Mashatu Game Reserve proudly provides a refuge for the largest, single population of elephant on privately owned land in Africa. Known as the relic herds of Shashe, these elephants are the last living testament to the great herds that once populated the meandering Limpopo valley. Today, the population on Mashatu Game Reserve alone, is estimated to number in excess of 500.
