Mashatu Masterclass
Join WildEarth's head of cam-ops, Gerrit Burger, for an immersive photographic masterclass across Mashatu's wild, ancient landscapes.
Mashatu Masterclass: A Photographic Safari with Gerrit Burger
Gerrit brings almost three decades of photographic experience to this immersive masterclass across Mashatu's wild, ancient landscapes, where towering baobabs and open plains have shaped some of Africa's most charismatic wildlife images.
He's with you throughout, as host and private guide, sharing the technical craft and creative instinct behind exceptional wildlife photography. You'll shoot from an exclusive photographic vehicle, built for low angles and unobstructed views, and spend a night at the Lala Limpopo Sleepout Hide, watching the bush settle into darkness under an open sky. Two morning and two afternoon sessions at the Matebole Elephant Hide put you at eye level with Mashatu's giants as they drink, play and pass within meters of your lens.

Where You’ll Stay
Mashatu Lodge
Northern Tuli Game Reserve · Botswana
Set beneath the shade of ancient trees, Mashatu Lodge is the ideal 4-star luxury safari lodge for the family traveller, offering the perfect balance of comfort and wilderness connection.
Fourteen luxury suites are thoughtfully positioned along the camp’s edge to offer complete privacy and uninterrupted views of the bush. From your veranda, watch elephants gather, listen to the call of the woodland kingfisher, and breathe in the unmistakable scent of the African bush.
Each air-conditioned suite is spacious and beautifully appointed, featuring striking black-and-white wildlife prints and elegant touches that reflect Mashatu’s natural character. A double bed and extra-large single, plus a daybed in the seating area, make them ideal for couples or families. The generous en-suite bathroom includes both bath and shower, along with a separate W.C. for added comfort.
Between game drives and safari activities, unwind beside one of two inviting swimming pools or in the open-plan communal area overlooking an active waterhole –offering tranquil spots to cool off or simply pause and take in your surroundings. Meals are a celebration of hearty, home-style African cuisine: fresh fruits and vegetables, hand-made breads and pies, and perfectly prepared meat dishes and desserts.
Browse the curio shop for locally crafted gems, step into the Discovery Room to uncover fascinating relics of Mashatu’s past or indulge in a spa treatment designed to soothe and restore. With its warm hospitality and timeless atmosphere, Mashatu Lodge welcomes travellers of all ages.
