I spend 2 nights at the Lala Limpopo Sleepout Hide in Mashatu!

Botswana's brand new underground photography hide! Enrol in Wildlife Photography for Beginners and Amateurs: http://bit.ly/WildlifePhotographyCourse Mashatu Game Reserve: https://mashatu.com/ Lala Limpopo Sleepout Hide: https://www.photomashatu.com/ Become a Patron of my channel: https://patreon.com/TheSafariExpert In this video, which the first one in a two-part series, my friends and I visit the brand new Lala Limpopo Sleepout Hide in Botswana's Mashatu Game Reserve. We had the privilege of spending two nights there in mid-October 2024, right at the end of a very dry season, making it the perfect timing for game viewing. The Lala Limpopo Sleepout Hide is an underground photography hide with two bedrooms (each with two single beds), a kitchen, and a bathroom, as well as a day bed and comfortable seating for at least four photographers. It overlooks a man-made waterhole in the south-central region of Mashatu Game Reserve and faces north. The waterhole is lit up at night by a series of moveable lights that can also be remotely controlled, allowing you to switch them on or off, or to change their intensity. This allows photographers to get some really dramatic studio-type photos of everything that comes down to drink throughout the night. Visitors to the hide also get to spend the late afternoon and early morning in the hide, allowing you to get the best of both daytime and nighttime photographic opportunities. And as you'll see from this video, we had some incredible experiences at the Lala Limpopo Sleepout Hide in our 48 hour-period!

In fact, this was one of the first of its kind built in Africa! During our morning session in the Photo Mashatu underground hide we saw an amazing variety of birds, as well as three herds of elephants come down to drink. In the afternoon, another herd of elephants visited the underground photography hide. It just reminded me why Mashatu is one of the best safari destinations in Botswana! In this video, I also introduce my home away from home, Mashatu Lodge, where I used to live for four years while I was still studying the leopard population in Mashatu Game Reserve. ================================= Gear I use to film and produce my videos: ================================= Canon R6 camera: https://amzn.to/3AXxx6P Canon 100-500 RF lens: https://amzn.to/3pT9grZ GoPro Hero 10: https://amzn.to/3RjaXdZ iPhone 12Pro: https://amzn.to/3KvGKGs Macbook Pro 13 inch: https://amzn.to/3e79adU Sandisk 2TB Portable SSD hard drive: https://amzn.to/3R2GWiO ENROL IN MY ONLINE PHOTOGRAPHY COURSES: Wildlife Photography for Beginners and Amateurs: http://bit.ly/WildlifePhotographyCourse Digital Photography for Beginners with DSLR cameras: http://bit.ly/BeginnersPhotographyCourse Take your digital photography skills to the next level: http://bit.ly/IntermediatePhotographyCourse Adobe Lightroom Classic – Beginner Level: http://bit.ly/LightroomClassicBeginnerLevel How to earn extra income by selling your photos online: http://bit.ly/StockPhotographyCourse How to create a BESTSELLER Udemy Online Course: http://bit.ly/BestsellerUdemyCourseCreation Disclaimer: Keep in mind that some of the links in this post are affiliate links and if you click on them to make a purchase I will earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
