SAFARI COLLECTION

MASHATU TENT CAMP

BOTSWANA

Unplug, slow down, and let the rhythm of the bush guide your stay

Mashatu Tent Camp offers an intimate and authentic connection to the wild. With just eight private tents tucked away under giant trees, this is the ideal choice for travellers seeking the ultimate one-on-one bush experience.

Each spacious tent rests on a raised platform and features private open-air en-suite facilities, including an outdoor shower and W.C., allowing you to experience nature up close without sacrificing comfort.

Meandering pathways link the tents to the heart of camp, where shared meals bring guests together — either in the open-air gazebo or the boma overlooking a floodlit waterhole alive with wildlife.

Between safaris drives and activities, cool off in the plunge pool or spend quiet hours in the shaded hide that overlooks the waterhole – watching elephants, antelope, and birds come and go undisturbed. The atmosphere here is relaxed and deeply moving — a place where the rhythm of the bush takes over and connection comes naturally. Hear the night’s symphony of hyenas, leopards, and lions become your soundtrack.

“A small camp with a big heart, designed for true wilderness connection.”
