Mashatu is all by itself in an area where there are a lot of animals, but not a lot of people. I wanted to add a second area besides the Sabi Sands area and chose this camp to do something different. They do have specialized activities such as horseback riding, time with the researchers and mountain biking. We didn't do these because we only stayed for two nights due to time contraints, but they sounded great. Elvis (I kid you not) was our guide and he had eagle eyes, he spotted a cheetah far in the distance. We followed her for some time and watched her search for prey, unfortunately some zebra spotted her and exposed her.
