Mashatu Game Reserve is an area of great diversity, with magnificent vistas and land formations as ancient as time, including the famous granite rock formations of the Tuli. It is home to a multitude of wildlife and remains untouched by the invasion of man.
A horse safari in the Land of the Giants will arouse the explorer in you. Allow the spirit of your horse to carry you in rhythm with the African beat, as you return to an age of old Africa where great herds of elephant roam and where (in the words of Rudyard Kipling) the "great, grey, green, greasy Limpopo" meanders, mighty baobab trees stands tall and lions and hyenas serenade you under a starry night sky!
Morning commences at sunrise with tea/coffee and a small breakfast snack. Departing at around 06h30, the ride heads in a north westerly direction to Jwala Camp on the banks of the Jwala River. Ride for 6 to 7 hours through wild countryside teeming with game, amidst magnificent scenery.
On rides expect to see large herds of elephant, lion and leopard – as well as zebra, giraffe, hyena, baboons, wildebeest and many other species. The large open plains that are so characteristic of this area afford the opportunity of riding amongst herds of galloping wildebeest, giraffe and zebra. Unforgettable sightings and exhilarating riding is guaranteed.
In the afternoon, enjoy a guided walk into the Jwala hills. On foot you are able to see the smaller creatures and plants and follow spoor. Dinner is prepared over an open fire by a chef, whose “bush cuisine” is renowned! Later retire to your camp bed, with mattress and inviting duvet!
