Mashatu Main Camp is an oasis among the undulating and seemingly endless plains of the wild. Burning torches at the camps entrance beckon safari-goers home to the embodiment of sublime hospitality.
For the client who is accustomed to the creature comforts, this camp will meet every expectation. 14 luxury suites lie along the camps perimeter, and are designed to allow absolute privacy and a communion with the bush and its inhabitants. Watch elephants splashing at the waterhole; listen to the lyrical melody of the woodlands kingfisher in a branch overhead; smell the grassy scent of the veldt; touch the bark of an ancient tree and taste a breath of air so pure, its intoxicating.
Each of the air-conditioned suites at Mashatu Main Camp is tastefully decorated and includes impressive black and white prints of Africas most beautiful animals. A double bed and an extra large single bed together with a seating area comprising a day bed allows the suites to provide more than enough space to comfortably accommodate families with younger children. The ample en-suite bathroom with both bath and shower facilities and a separate W.C complete the well appointed suites.
This is the ideal camp for the family traveler. A large swimming pool is the most popular spot in the camp to wile away the hours on the hot days between game activities. The Discovery Room is the portal through which curious visitors get a glimpse of another world that was here long before man was - animal specimens and relics will fascinate and educate visitors of all ages as will the resident crocodiles (both large and small).
Meals are a sumptuous celebration of traditional African cuisine, flavorsome but not ostentatious.

| Mashatu Tent Camp | www.mashatu.com |
| Just 15 minutes from Mashatu Main Camp is a refuge very different. The Mashatu Tent Camp is almost one with the environment, just blink and you might miss it! This is the leisure choice for the guest who seeks the ultimate one-on-one bush experience, or who prefers a more intimate environment with never more than 14 companions (and no children under 12 years of age).
8 completely private comfortable tents are tucked under the branches of enormous trees, accessible via meandering pathways. The tents are themselves spacious and comfortable (enabling adults to stand upright). Each unit is mounted on a concrete platform, and has its own private outdoor en-suite facilities (including W.C and shower). Have you ever showered under the stars?
Instant camaraderie is a by-product of this characteristic camp. Meal times are shared without pomp and ceremony, either in the open-air thatched gazebo, or in the boma overlooking a floodlit and popular waterhole. A plunge pool provides a refreshing break from the unrelenting sunshine typical of the summer months.
Clients may remove themselves further by visiting the hide, also overlooking the waterhole. The sturdy and shaded structure enables bush enthusiasts to sit quietly and to obverse animal species going about their day. And the best part, the animals are completely unaware that they are not alone. It is humbling indeed to be an observer, standing where the world is perfect.

| Limpopo Valley Horse Safaris | www.lvhsafaris.co.za |
| Our classic and very popular safari is the Tuli Trail: a seven night mobile safari, ending each riding day in comfortable walk-in tents with beds, cozy duvets, hot showers and fine dining in lovely settings. A highlight of the trail is two nights spent sleeping out under the stars in an old tribal court called the Kgotla; other nights are at various wilderness camps. The ride covers approximately 120 miles over the course of the week and is scheduled from April to October.
Satellite campsites are set up in specific locations throughout the Mashatu Reserve. Accommodation is in A frame tents on comfortable beds with sheets and duvets. Facilities include a bucket shower and bush-WC. Meals are cooked over a camp fire.
The Kgotla is an old tribal court from a nearby community that was relocated to the banks of the Motloutse River on the western periphery of Mashatu. The boma is an open-air traditional African enclosure made up of leadwood logs. Guests sleep on beds around a large log fire which blazes at the centre.
Nestled in the shade of a centurion Mashatu tree, two traditionally built Lala palm rondavels serve as dining area and lounge. Accommodation is in big A frame walk-in tents pitched on teak platforms, with en-suite enviro loo and hot water shower. Each tent is private and positioned in the shade of a tree with a small deck area on which to relax during the afternoons

| Tuli Safari Lodge | www.tulilodge.com |
| Tuli Safari Lodge provides an idyllic base from which to explore the surrounding area, with its majestic landscape, spectacular wildlife and fascinating history.

The lodge is situated in peaceful grounds under the shade of ancient Nyala berry trees, tucked between the banks of the Limpopo River and imposing sandstone formations. The lodge traces its origins back to 1964 when the Northern Tuli Game Reserve was created, and as such it is unconventional in design and layout and has a charming home-from-home feel.
Each air conditioned suite has an en suite bathroom, double or twin beds (or family rooms) and sitting areas both in and outdoors. We have two grades of suites, which we call 4 and 5 ele, with our 5 ele suites being the more luxurious, spacious and private.
Wholesome meals are served in a variety of locations throughout the lodges extensive grounds, we try not to serve meals in the same place twice during your stay!
