Land of the Giants - Tuli Riding Safari
Mashatu Botswana
Special Offer Available!!

Arouse the adventurous explorer within you and allow the spirit of a horse to carry you in rhythm with the African beat!

This spectacular horse safari is in the remote South Eastern corner of Botswana. Home to the Mashatu Game Reserve, the “Land of the Giants” is an area of great diversity, magnificent vistas,  unique land formations, history and legend as ancient as time itself. This pristine game viewing land lends itself to exciting horse safaris - it is the home of no less than seven of Africa's "Giants": the African elephant, the lion, giraffe, the baobab tree, the eland, the ostrich, and the kori bustard. Along the river courses, huge Mashatu trees provide shade for resting impala, wildebeest and zebra. Ride on horseback, surrounded by a multitude of Africa’s flora and fauna, and explore this breathtaking terrain from the ultimate vantage point.

We offer two vacation options throughout the season...

A Progressive Safari: Mashatu Land of the Giants - Tuli Safari
There is little to match the adventure of the Mashatu Trail, a mobile safari which runs between April and October covering 120 miles of the Mashatu Reserve. Your first and last nights are spent at the Two Mashatus camp (the base of our stationary safari), in spacious safari tents with ensuite washrooms and bucket showers. On the trail your safari tents are moved to different wilderness camps throughout the reserve, which mostly have individual long-drop loos and shared bucket showers. You may even spend a night or two under the stars in an old tribal court. Each morning you will move camp, rising early and riding out with your horse at first light. The days rides vary anywhere from four to seven hours, arriving at the new camp for lunch. In the afternoon relax at camp and in the coolness of the late afternoon shade or explore the area further on a game drive or bush walk.


A Stationary Safari: The Two Mashatus Camp Safari
These rides are based at the semi-permanent camp "Two Mashatus" and dates are available during the summer months of February through November. Summer is a lovely time to be in Botswana: the bush is in full bloom; there is water in the watering holes and sometimes the rivers too; the young animals are finding their feet; and all the animals on the game are relaxed and well fed!  The riding schedule varies but usually includes an early morning ride of about three to four hours, when the game is most active, and sometimes a late afternoon ride of about two hours. There is the opportunity to try different horses if you wish. During your stay, you will also have the chance to go on one game drive and a guided bush walk.

------------
Each horse safari is certainly the experience of a lifetime! Surrounded by a multitude of Africa’s flora and fauna, this breathtaking terrain
is explored from horse back guided by expert rangers and run by experienced horse men and horse women. The skilled equestrian has the chance to become one with the African bush, where the mighty baobab stands tall and where lions and hyena serenade you under the starry African night sky!
