Anthony is a renowned Africa expert and author of many Lonely Planet guidebooks, including the Botswana & Namibia guide.
Mashatu Game Reserve is a top destination for birders – more than 350 species have been recorded in the reserve. Most of the game drives are conducted around the dry riverbeds, but drives further afield to the marsh can be very rewarding for birders. As with many private reserves that offer outstanding wildlife viewing of the flagship species, birding is usually not a priority. Avid bird-watchers might want to book a private vehicle to avoid disappointment.

Best Time for Bird Watching
Mashatu Game Reserve offers first-rate bird watching at any time of the year. However, if you want the best out of the reserve, schedule a visit in the wet months, from November to April, when summer migrants arrive. For mammals and other wildlife viewing, the Dry season months of May to September are better.
