Report this content

Ethos Marketing is delighted to introduce Mashatu - Botswana’s largest private game reserve and renowned ‘Land of Giants’. Its resident giants include the world’s largest mammal, tallest mammal, largest antelope, largest bird and heaviest flying bird. Add the King of the beasts and the iconic baobab tree and you can see why it is such a unique spot under the African sun.  Mashatu also boasts over 700 elephants – Africa’s largest population on private land and is a birders’ paradise with over 350 species.

Mashatu encompasses an expansive 72,000 acres of pristine wilderness in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve in Eastern Botswana.  The reserve borders South Africa and Zimbabwe, where the mighty Limpopo and Shashe Rivers meet, and forms the heart of the proposed Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area, famous for its Iron Age ruins of 900AD.
