Discover Mashatu Euphorbia Villas

Mashatu Euphorbia Villas is the new five-star camp, situated in the privately owned Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana. This environmentally conscious camp combines luxury with conservation and sustainability, where solar energy and state-of-the-art water processing systems ensure a harmonious blend with the African bush. Mashatu Euphorbia is set high up on a cliff face amongst a forest of euphorbia succulents which open up to reveal exquisite vistas of the Majale River and endless plains below. With a maximum of 16 guests, an intimate ambience is created, where warm and engaging staff are on hand. The dramatic dining experience of sitting in a boma of uplit euphorbias or on the edge of the cliff under starry skies makes dinner a magical affair. Expert local guides (with an average of 14 years of experience on Mashatu alone) host a maximum of four guests per safari vehicle, showcasing daily sightings of lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, hyena and a vast diversity of Africa’s plains game.

Luxury Villas and Amenities

Guests are welcomed into their own private villas with heated plunge pools overlooking the ravine below. Built with local stone as a solid structure, the villas are inspired by the curves and shape of the resident mopane tree’s pod, which is the lifeblood and main food source for much of the general game at Mashatu during the predominantly dry months of the year. The eight secluded villas exude an earthy glamour, boasting both inside and outside showers, an inside WC and a second “loo with a view”. They are spacious with numerous relaxation and ‘unplug’ areas. This camp is the perfect place to live out adventure on a mountain bike, walking, horseback riding or in an underground photographic hide, while returning each evening to an aura of natural elegance and comfort.
