Location: The Tuli Block, within which Mashatu Game Reserve has been established, lies in the remote eastern corner of Botswana, bordering Zimbabwe to the north and South Africa to the south.

The area's diverse wilderness of savannah, riverine forests, marshland, open plains and rocky outrops hosts an abundance of wildlife, including predators such as wild dogs, plus lions and leopards. Game viewing is usually rewarding for safari visitors.
