Mashatu is located in Botswana's Tuli Block in the far eastern corner of the country. It's a massive 30000+ hectare private game reserve and, although there are no buffalo and rhino there, it's one of the best places in the world to see and photograph big cats! Lions, cheetah and especially leopards are plentiful and relaxed at Mashatu and combined with the unique terrain, makes for some unforgettable wildlife photography opportunities.

Mashatu is also one of the best places to see and photograph elephants. If you come in the dry season, between June and October, you stand an excellent chance of seeing them at Photo Mashatu's Matabole Underground Hide.

In this episode we talk about the different seasons and how they differ at Mashatu, Mashatu's camps and why we like them, the guides, the vehicles, the photo opportunities and the underground hide - everything you need to know about Mashatu! We even have a competition again to see who has taken the best photo at Mashatu and you get to vote who wins.
