SAFARI COLLECTION

MASHATU LODGE

BOTSWANA

A perfect safari lodge for the family-friendly traveller

Set beneath the shade of ancient trees, Mashatu Lodge is the ideal 4-star luxury safari lodge for the family traveller, offering the perfect balance of comfort and wilderness connection. Fourteen luxury suites are thoughtfully positioned along the camp’s edge to offer complete privacy and uninterrupted views of the bush. From your veranda, watch elephants gather, listen to the call of the woodland kingfisher, and breathe in the unmistakable scent of the African bush.

Each air-conditioned suite is spacious and beautifully appointed, featuring striking black-and-white wildlife prints and elegant touches that reflect Mashatu’s natural character. A double bed and extra-large single, plus a daybed in the seating area, make them ideal for couples or families. The generous en-suite bathroom includes both bath and shower, along with a separate W.C. for added comfort.

Between game drives and safari activities, unwind beside one of two inviting swimming pools or in the open-plan communal area overlooking an active waterhole –offering tranquil spots to cool off or simply pause and take in your surroundings. Meals are a celebration of hearty, home-style African cuisine: fresh fruits and vegetables, hand-made breads and pies, and perfectly prepared meat dishes and desserts.

Browse the curio shop for locally crafted gems, step into the Discovery Room to uncover fascinating relics of Mashatu’s past or indulge in a spa treatment designed to soothe and restore. With its warm hospitality and timeless atmosphere, Mashatu Lodge welcomes travellers of all ages.

“A tranquil safari escape crafted for families, comfort, and authentic wilderness moments.”
