Euphorbia Mashatu

Incredible setting and thoughtfully designed villas and public areas to make the best of the euphorbia candelabra, the river gorge, and nearby baobabs. Outside the camp (mostly), a healthy population of leopards, lions, even saw cheetahs on a hunt. Great guiding, and in this unusually hot March, comfortable air conditioning and lovely plunge pool at each villa.

Euphorbia made our entire trip. Out of the 4 lodges we stayed, this by far was the best. Best in service, best in staff, best in design, comfort and hospitality. The area is quite pretty with decent game viewing. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly by the manager Miss T along with bar tender extraordinaire KG who presented us with a beautiful welcome drink. Miss T gave us the grand tour of the lodge - AMAZING! The design of the lodge as well as the furnishing were thought out with such care. They incorporate within the lodge elements of the surrounding area. The bar area is just beautiful - gorgeous design, art and a well stocked bar and comfortable seating. There is also a beautiful fireplace! The rooms were amazing as well. From the layout, the view to the well stocked minibar. What really made our stay was our extremely knowledgeable guide and spotter - Goms and Jacks. They were amazing in tracking cats that it was mind boggling. Plus their knowledge and passion for the area and animals enhanced our hours together, making each of our drives unique and enjoyable. Plus Goms' driving up and down the rocky embankments in hot pursuit was handled with aplomb. Plus they have wonderful sundowner spots! Once returned to the lodge we were again warming greeted by staff and Miss T as well as interesting mocktails from KG. Not only is he a wonderful mixologist but knows which wines pair perfectly with meals. The had a wonderful selection of wines, especially from South Africa. Meals were served by friendly staff - Jessica, Gloria and KB and were quite tasty. No wish or want was too much. The manager, Miss T is new to the site and quite young but none of which takes away from her expertise in hospitality. She exudes friendless, warmth and knowledge. We looked forward to our evening cocktail chats with her, and her sharing her Botswana culture and experiences with us . This is a well run camp with staff that enhance the experience. Miss T and the Mashatu management have put together a wonderful team! It was hard to leave!

This was our third visit to Mashatu as part of our 24 th trip to Africa. We have stayed and thoroughly enjoyed both Main Camp and Tented Camp on previous visits. This is our first visit to Euphorbia. This camp is stunning. The design and architecture are worth the trip. This is an eco friendly camp that blends in beautifully with the environment. The rooms are amongst the best safari has to offer. Spacious and bright with stunning views of the valley and cliffs. Perfectly designed and executed. The outstanding camp team run by K K The service is world class. Warm scones and take away coffee in the morning. Lunch when you are ready. The evenings are exceptional. The bar area is relaxing. The wine and drink service is spot on. The safari aspect of Mashatu is legendary. We had the amazing duo of Senior Guide Bellamy and Trekker Poncho to share the magic of this reserve. We were perfectly positioned to see a full on cheetah chase of an impala. Amazingly the impala survived but the entire event was breath taking. We have already booked our second visit to this camp. It will be a home away from home for us. Highly recommended

Just go! Possibly one of the most magical places we have visited. The people, the accommodation, the safari treks all were worth it. We saw lots of elephants, zebra, wildebeest, cats and giraffes (some even from our room). From the minute we were met at the air ***** to being dropped off, we felt like family. Food was amazing and the staff outdid themselves. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back.

We spent three nights here and had a fantastic time. From our pick up at the airport to our drop off everything was great. The lodge and villas are stunning. Everything is modern and comfortable. The guides are friendly and knowledgable. Paul showed us around and the game viewing was amazing. He would not give up till we found the lion and leopards Food was very good and the staff is always around to help with anything one would need.
