| About
Masson Safaris
We run safaris dedicated to wildlife viewing,
bird watching and the general appreciation of
nature in remote areas of Botswana. Masson Safaris
is ecologically friendly and we ensure that our
presence has minimal environmental impact. It
is an honour to to be allowed into these pristine
areas and it carries responsibilties, which we
take very seriously. With expert guiding, we hope
to increase your awareness of and interest in
Botswana's natural beauty. We are a Permanent
Registered Botswana Company and a member of the
Hotel and Tourism Association of Botswana and
being fully insured is a pre-requisite for this.

Our
Staff
Our Senior Guide, Ewan Masson, has lived and guided
in Botswana for 20 years. He has acted as a consultant
for a number of wildlife documentary teams, as
well as run lodges and mobile safaris. We
like to keep our groups small and exclusive as
we feel this enhances your experience and ensures
you more personal attention. A full complement
of camp staff, most long-serving, ensures that
you are well cared for throughout your stay with
us.

Camps
Our camps are fully mobile consisting of 3m x
3m frame tents, in which you can stand, each with
camp beds, linen, towels and a personal washstand.
They have a light and bedside table and we use
chemical flush toilets, in an attached en-suite
tent. Camp has hot and cold showers.

Our
Vehicles
Our game drive vehicles are open, extended Land
Rovers which offer the very best photographic
opportunities and are great for bird scopes. They
have a fridge in which we stock a good variety
of mixers, fruit juice, mineral water, beer and
wine.

A
Typical Day on Safari
Our day normally begins just before daybreak with
a wake-up call. Hot water is brought to your wash
stand and a breakfast of cereals, rusks, tea and
coffee is served before the morning game drive.
We are generally back in the camp before midday
for a substantial brunch and siesta. |
|
|
After tea in the afternoon we go out again, to
be back in camp just after sunset for sundowners,
snacks and dinner. Some days a picnic lunch will
be taken with us, which means that we can be more
flexible about the time we return to camp. We
dine under the stars or in an airy tent with napkins
and wine glasses. Fresh bread is baked on hot
coals and our meals are wholesome and varied.
Dietary restrictions can be accommodated with
prior notice.
