Mashatu Lodge is situated on the eastern fringes of the Kalahari Desert, and water is its most precious resource.

14 luxury suites lie along the camp’s perimeter and are designed to allow absolute privacy and a communion between the bush and its inhabitants. Watch elephants splashing at the waterhole, listen to the lyrical melody of the woodland kingfisher on a branch overhead, smell the grassy scent of the bushveld, touch the bark of an ancient tree, and inhale a breath of air so pure, it’s intoxicating.

Each of the air-conditioned suites at Mashatu Lodge is tastefully decorated and includes impressive black and white prints of Africa’s most beautiful animals. A double bed and an extra-large single bed, together with a seating area that includes a single day bed, comfortably accommodate families. The ample en suite bathroom with both bath and shower facilities and a separate W.C. complete the well-appointed suites.

Two large swimming pools are a focal point to cool down and relax between game activities.

Meals are a sumptuous celebration of traditional African cuisine—flavorsome but lacking in ostentation. Fresh fruits, vegetables, home-made breads and pies, succulent meat dishes, and delicious desserts will appeal to a guest who appreciates home cooking at its best.

With a fully stocked curio shop for retail therapy, the Discovery Room offering a glimpse into another world with ancient relics that will amaze, and an on-site spa offering luxurious and relaxing treatments, Mashatu Lodge has something for everyone in the family.
