Mashi river safaris was established in 2010 to provide the ever more adventurous tourist a means to explore the beautiful Kwando/Mashi river system.
Our base camp for operations is Mavunje which is open as a campsite to the general public.
The operation focuses on a river based camping safari overnighting at carefully chosen island campsites along the course of the river providing the guest with a superb wilderness experience combined with an opportunity to learn more not only about the region and its wildlife but to discover its history and culture. The Kwando forms the eastern boundary of the newly proclaimed Bwabwata National Park which is home to ever increasing numbers of game and over 350 species of birds providing for stunning game viewing, birding and excellent fishing as well as tremendous photographic opportunities.
Highways lead to by-ways that lead to countless side tracks in Namibia’s communal conservancies, just waiting to be explored by the intrepid traveler. From rocky rugged passes in the northwest to the east where water turns tracks into muddy quagmires, there are challenges for the toughest vehicle and driver.
Namibia is a photographer’s dream. There are magical hours, days and nights. Spectacular wildlife, landscapes and people of old, evolving cultures found in Namibia’s communal conservancies provide endless opportunities for keen amateur and professional photographers to capture stunning images.
