Mashatu Game Reserve, and other game lodges in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve, is a wild and rugged landscape of savanna, open plains, sandstone outcrops and riverine forest. It offers great game viewing with a strong chance of seeing large herds of elephant and many of the predators such as lion, leopard or cheetah. Mashatu is also distinctive in that  as well as day and night 4x4 game drives, it also offers a range of adventure activities and also the chance to accompany research scientists who are based at Mashatu.
Adventure activities include mountain bike safaris, horse-riding safaris, walking safaris as well as excursions to Mapungubwe.

Mashatu’s innovative decision to encourage guests to accompany research scientists on their field work is a win for both researcher and visitor alike. The research scientists are the direct beneficiary of the small fee, and this helps them to fund their ongoing research. Likewise the guest gets to learn at first hand exactly how research is conducted and to learn from the experts about that particular species behaviour and characteristics.
