INTRODUCTION
4
The Devil thorn flowers carpet the whole of Mashatu in bright green and yellow. This pro-vides a beautiful setting for landscape and
wildlife photography. All the seed eating birds, and especially the monotonous larks, are chirping in abundance and enjoying the short grass and the Mojale and Pitsane rivers will have ample pools of water in them. This means that animal activity will be high in the central areas of the reserve. As usu-al, the predator viewing here is exceptional. With open areas and little infringing bush, leopard, lion and cheetah photography is remarkably easier. El-ephant numbers should be high due to the high wa-ter levels, meaning close encounters with breeding herds.
At camp, the summer birds will still be around and the water bath (3m from the lounge) will be attract-ing species like meyer’s parrots, Green-winged pytilias, grey go-away birds, starlings, tropical bou-bous, grey headed shrike and red headed weav-ers. Small raptors such as gabar goshawk and little sparrowhawk are also common in camp, especially near the water bath. The swamp area in the south will have all manner of egrets, ibis’s, ducks, geese and storks on its fringes; while deeper in the reeds, elephants will be splashing around.
C4 PHOTO HIDES
5
What are photographic hides?
These are structures built to specifically maximise the photographic potential of the subjects that visit them. These hides can be used to view animals in the normal manner, but have been positioned to con-sider the angle of the sun, the background as well as the angle you are to the animals and birds. If you are a photographer you will notice all of these things immediately and it will enable you to get some absolutely stunning photographs. The results of the images taken form the hides have been published in many maga-zines and books as well as have won some major awards. This is an indication of just how well the hides are built for photographers. A C4 Photo Safaris’ wildlife photographer will accompany you in the hides. They will help tutor you with the various camera techniques to ensure you get your great images.
The concessionC4 Photo Safaris will have resident wildlife photographers based at Main camp to help guest photogra-phers when they are at camp. They can hire out the use of the photographer to join them on game drives as well as for the photographic hides. He/she will also be available for tutor sessions in camp during the day. Additionally, you can hire out the C4 photo vehicle, in which you will be accompanied by your own personal photographic guide. All guest photographers booking and using the photographic hides will be booked through Mashatu reservations as an additional activity. This will be charged as per the photograph-ic concession rates. Guests at Mashatu may use the hides for normal game viewing purposes as well as photography, but still accompanied by the C4 Photo Safaris photo guide.
Why Mashatu?• C4 Photo Safaris chose Mashatu for a number of rea-
sons.• C4 Photo Safaris have been leading tours and work-
shops to Mashatu since 2005 and know the reserve very well.
• Mashatu is a semi-arid area. This means animals are attracted to water in the dry season (June – October), making it an excellent location to allow animals to come to you.
• Drying pools in the rivers attract flocks of storks and her-ons late in the rainy season (February – May), where the semi-permanent hides will be in use.
• Excellent elephant sightings for the elephant hides.• Excellent birdlife for the bird photographs.• Open landscape that makes for easy photographing of
wildlife.• Excellent and healthy predator population.
C4 PHOTO HIDES (CONTINUED)
6
Matebole HideLocated in an ecotone between mopane grasslands and the thicker central game viewing region of Mashatu. This unique combination of these two habitat types creates a wide diver-sity of bird and mammal species which reside this area. Ele-phants in this region migrate daily in the dryer season, heading north in the evenings to feed and south in the mornings. The Matabole Hide is situated along these main daily migratory routes, making their visits to the hide very frequent.
Valley hideSet in a far more arid environment to the Matebole Hide, and is enclosed by ridges on either side. The valley system chan-nels the elephants walking to their feeding areas right past the hide. Water is sparse in this region, making it an almost essential drinking stop over spot for the elephants, especially in the drier months.
Reflection hideSituated in amongst mopane grasslands along the banks of a drainage line. The area is dotted with large Leadwood tree’s, which attract an array of bird life but predominately grain eat-ing birds. The hide is built at eye level, with the edge of the pool ‘disappearing’ into the distance creating an illusion of the water flowing into infinity. Here you can expect to capture intimate bird portraits, bird in flight images as well as those beautiful reflection photographs in the still water. All with lovely clean backgrounds.
Bee-eater hidePerched on the side of the Mojale River this hide overlooks the goings on of a white -fronted bee-eater colony. The birds are resident, so photography is possible all year round. This is the place for the bird in flight photographer, with the aerial antics of the birds providing the ultimate challenge to capture in camera. When they are photographed though, their sheer brilliance in colour makes all the effort very worthwhile. A nearby perch provides the opportunity for beautiful portrait images too.

Mashatu Safari
There will be 2 x private vehicles for photographers: usually three photographers and 1 guide per vehicle. Non Photographers are allowed to join on the photographic vehicle if numbers allow- if not, Non-photo-graphing partners will be on their own vehicle with a ranger. On all our tours and workshops we may ask participants to rotate seats in the vehicles, taking it in turn to sit in the more popular seats in the front and the less popular ones in the rear. This requirement applies to everyone. If there is some reason why you can’t take your turn in the back of a vehicle (e.g. a bad back or travel sickness) please inform our office at the time of booking to see if we can accommodate you. We regret that anyone failing to inform us of suchlimitations before the tour will be expected to rotate seats in the same way as everyone else.
Highlights to and what to photograph:
• Close quarter photography of Predators such as lion, cheetah and leopard.• Excellent, open sightings and photography of very relaxed elephants• Dry riverbeds breaking up the landscape. Elephants and other animals are often found drinking in
these riverbeds.• General game is relaxed and easy to photograph• Beautiful plains areas interspersed with rocky kopjes.• A marsh area, when wet attracts all manner of waterfowl.• Beautiful sandstone rock formations on the Limpopo River - excellent for landscapes• Archaeological ruins in the Limpopo valley- part of the Mapungubwe society• Rhodess baobab perched precariously on the edge of a rocky hill.• Viewing is generally open and clear- allowing for easier photography.• Large Baobabs and Mashatu trees dominate the skyline- providing excellent photographic subjects.

ElephantsElephants are large mammals of the family Ele-phantidae and the order Proboscidea. Traditionally, two species are recognised, the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) and the Asian elephant (El-ephas maximus), although some evidence sug-gests that African bush elephants and African for-est elephants are separate species (L. africana and L. cyclotis respectively). Elephants are scattered throughout sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Elephantidae are the only surviv-ing family of the order Proboscidea; other, now extinct, families of the order include mammoths and mastodons.
Male African elephants are the largest surviving terrestrial animals and can reach a height of 4 m (13 ft) and weigh 7,000 kg (15,000 lb).
All elephants have several distinctive features the most notable of which is a long trunk or probos-cis, used for many purposes, particularly breathing, lifting water and grasping objects. Their incisors grow into tusks, which can serve as weapons and as tools for moving objects and digging. Elephants’ large ear flaps help to control their body tem-perature. Their pillar-like legs can carry their great weight. African elephants have larger ears and concave backs while Asian elephants have smaller ears and convex or level backs.

A true bushmaster, Albie as a naturalist has that knack for see-ing and finding the unusual. While most are staring at large mammals, Albie’s keen eye and understanding of nature finds things unusual, often overlooked and mostly hidden to the cas-ual observer.
With his camera he then shows with brilliant photos that ‘hidden world’ of nature: The line of life, where not many other photogra-phers go, nevermind see. An excellent naturalist and a top class birdwatcher, Albie will guide you to seeing the normal mammals and birds, but he will also open up your eyes to the other side of nature, where small animals, reptiles and birds reveal subtle, beautiful photographs.

Born a photographer, Isak was bred an engineer. Once he picked up a camera, this soon came to an end and now Isak has established himself as one of the top bird photographers in Af-rica. The benefit of his engineering training is his flawless tech-nical knowledge of camera systems and the post processing software that accompanies them. He combined these skills to focus on bird-in-flight photography; where he excelled to such a degree that he was awarded an unprecedented 8 awards in theFujiFilm-Getaway photo competition in just one year.
Isak is a sought-after specialist wildlife photographic guide and full-time professional wildlife photographer. His passion for na-ture is fuelled by the reminiscence of a classic Africa and his aim is to create conservation awareness for his continent’s natural wonders. His discovery of nature’s special moments at a young age shaped his aspirations of today: to showcase the beauty of his continent’s pristine wonders in a creative way. He believes that this is the best way to protect Africa’s natural heritage.

In 1998 Heinrich van den Berg left his profession as a civil engi-neer to become a full-time wildlife photographer. Since then he has travelled the world photographing wildlife and culture with a uniquely artistic eye. Van den Bergs photographs are known for breaking boundaries and depicting the natural world in a fresh and evocative way. He is an experimental photographer always on the lookout to capture his subjects from a unique perspec-tive.
In his bid to tell a story in every picture, he has climbed icy vol-canoes in Argentina and Chile, tracked endangered mountain gorillas in Rwanda, searched for rare chameleons in Madagas-car, wandered through the sacred temples of Cambodia, and walked the steamy forests of Borneo and Sumatra to photo-graph the elusive orangutan. He has photographed extensively in Southern Africa, where he lives, capturing on film the mys-terious leopard in Kruger National Park, the desert elephant in Namibias Kaokoland, and the captivating birdlife of Botswana.

André grew up in the African bush with literally one hand on his binoculars and the other hand on the camera. An avid bird-watcher at that young age, he was given his first SLR in 1990. The passion of birding turned into one of photography and in 2004 Andre Founded C4 Photo Safaris with Shem Compion.
The results of his pursuits with a camera from such a young age have developed into a unique photographic style. It is one that emulates motion and speed into scenes showing glimpses of action, movement and behaviour not often noticed for its beauty by the human eye. When most people are trying to freeze mo-tion, Andre is slowing it down and capturing as an art form. This style was recognised by winning the ultimate prize in wildlife photography: Winning the Mammal Behaviour category in the BBC wildlife photographer of the year competition 2003. An-dré’s hard work paid off due to his dedication, his love of African nature and the joy that he gets from looking through the view finder at the subjects that he loves.

ACCOMMODATION
15
Mashatu Tented Camp
Without stealing away any luxuries, accommodation is in a tented camp situated in the northern reaches of the reserve. Twin luxury safari tents offer you a luxurious rest in bush surrounds. Each tent has two large single beds, an en-suite bathroom with flush-ing W.C and its own private veranda to relax on. Breakfast and lunch are served in a main dining area whilst dinner is served in an out door boma overlooking an adjacent waterhole. There is a central lounge area to relax in, a plunge pool and a bar. A hide overlooks the waterhole next to the camp.
The drive from Pretoria is approximately 5 hours. On arrival at the border we will go through cus-toms and cross the Limpopo River where a Mashatu representative will meet us. From there we will transfer on the Mashatu game vehicles to tent camp. It is an hour’s drive from the border to the camp.

1. What should I know about vehicle etiquette?
Vehicle etiquette and consideration for fellow photographers:
On all our tours we may ask participants to rotate seats in the vehicles, taking it in turn to sit in the more popular seats in the front and the less popular ones in the rear. This requirementapplies to everyone. If there is some reason why you can’t take your turn in the back of a vehicle (e.g. a bad back or travel sickness) please inform our office at the time of booking to see if we can accommodate you. We regret that anyone failing to inform us of such limitations before the tour will be expected to rotate seats in the same way as everyone else.
There is also other vehicle etiquette that we would like to ask you to adhere to. We give these guidelines to ensure a positive experience for all when on safari.
• Please keep noise levels low at an animal sighting. This allows people to enjoy the set-ting and listen to sounds that the animals may be making. Often these alert us to somebehaviour and allows us to anticipate any action that may occur.
• If you are seated in the front of the vehicle, please have consideration for the peoplebehind you. A pre-arranged chat at the start of the safari is an excellent way to work out how you will be photographing and working around each other. It provides a positive workingenvironment and allows everyone to photograph happily in the vehicle.
• When photographing, keep movement to a minimum. If you are going to shift places, then alert the others and do so as swiftly and directly as possible.
• Please do not do anything to effect the behaviour of the animals.
• Your driver/ranger has to adhere to certain rules and etiquette at sightings that you may not be aware of. This may mean you cannot stop exactly where you would like. Please bear this in mind at sightings, especially when there are other vehicles from other camps around.
2. What technical equipment or requirements do I need for the workshops?
For workshops a Digital SLR camera is recommended, with at least a 200mm lens to capture wildlife im-ages. A laptop for downloading is also helpful, although we can download image if necessary. On a Photo tour, two DSLR camera bodies and lenses are advised. The type of lenses you take depend entirely on the destination. We will advise according to each tour should you need advise.
3. Are there any extras I need to bring on a trip?
Most of our tours are all inclusive and we offer advice as to what to bring along. This is due to the differ-ent seasons and conditions of each safari. C4 Photo Safaris will always advise if you will be traveling in a Malaria area. If the tour is not all-inclusive, it will be clearly stated.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
17
4. Why do you choose such specific destinations for the Tours and Work-shops?
Each destination is hand picked by us for the beauty and photographic potential it holds. C4 Photo Safaris only travel to destinations that offer the best of what we are looking to photograph. If we know an area holds excellent wildlife, we will take tours there. There are many factors to consider- Seasonal variation can have a large impact on wildlife movements, animal and bird migrations, localalised animal movements etc. We of course take all this into consideration, ensuring that our tours are going to the best locations at the best times.
5. Is there any cell phone reception in the areas?
In most game reserves and wild areas there is no cell/mobile phone reception.
6. How safe am I in the game reserves in Africa?
C4 Photo Safaris only operate with lodges and reserves that use the best rangers. They ensure your safety whilst on safari and use very strict procedures when dealing with dangerous animals. Each lodge has a safety briefing on arrival which, if adhered to, makes your stay very safe.
7. What insurance/coverage do I need?
Your normal travel insurance covers you for safaris in Africa. C4 Photo Safaris are comprehensively in-sured for medical emergencies on safaris.
8. For Malaria, which tablets should I take, if any?
C4 Photo Safaris are not allowed to prescribe medical advice to clients. We will advise if the area visited is in a malaria area. You will need to consult with your local GP for medical advise on Malaria and prevention.
9. What about allergies?
Most safari camps are able to handle food allergies but not with the degree of skill that five star hotels do. The best way to handle an intolerance, is to simply avoid eating that particu-lar food as the menus in camp are quite diverse. If you have a more uncommon allergy, like beingallergic to eggs, and you know of a solution (like a powder substitute), then bring it along on sa-fari. If you have a deadly allergy, then be sure to travel with your own medication and request in camp that that ingredient be removed from the kitchen and the store. As a side note, it ishelpful to remember that many safari camps have to fly produce in or truck it in, overhundreds of miles. Furthermore, the camps, although impressive looking, actually have minimalinfrastructure behind the scenes. If you assist the camp in managing your allergy, it will be agreat help.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (CONTINUED)
18
10. What about medicine, diseases and vaccinations?
Please check in with your local travel clinic or doctor for advice. From my experience, ayellow fever and hepatitis vaccination is a must, while the plethora of others areoptional. Our safaris are conducted in low risk malarial areas but for your own peace of mind, werecommend that you take a prophylactic. In areas where you get tsetse flies in East Afri-ca, humans are not the primary disease carries, and contracting Tryps is very rare. There isnothing you can do about these flies except to dress appropriately (keep reading) and to ap-ply mosie-guard. None of our current safari destinations carry significant amounts of tsetsi flies. The camps do have medicine kits and there is always an evacuation plan. We do howev-er find it practical to always travel through Africa with the following items: Immodium (keep this handy when traveling) - Buscopan (for tummy cramps) - Pain killers (that contain par-acetamol and a muscle relaxant) - Antihistamine cream and tablets for any allergic reactions - Melatonin to help speedy recovery from jetlag - Any medicine or ointments that you would normally take at home - Mosquito repellant - A product called Mosie-guard for areas where Tsetsi Flies occur (manu-factured in the UK and Deet does not work) - Tweezers for any thorns or splinters - Re-hydrants sachets (very important) - Disinfectant or antibiotic cream (just for nicks, cuts or grazes) - Plasters (to cover nicks, cuts or grazes)
11. Can I drink water and eat fresh produce on safari?
We advise that you only drink bottled water, which is always available in camps. Avoid ice as this is often made from local water which although is generally safe to drink, your foreign tummies might disagree! It is safe to eat fresh produce.
12. What about food on safari?
Both East and much of Southern Africa was a British colony and as such, you can expect that type of cuisine. The breakfasts usually consist of cereals and a hot English breakfast. Lunch-es are usually light with a variety of salads and always a meat option. Dinners are traditionalEnglish affairs usually with a soup starter and freshly baked camp bread. The main course will usually be a roast of sorts, with vegetables. Dessert is usually a simple affair consisting of fruit or a baked pudding. You will not go hungry! (A side note to mention is that between meals there are often not snacks readily available and breakfast is often only later in the morning. You might want to bring a few snacks or energy bars if you have a problem keeping your sugar levels up.)
13. Any luggage restrictions?
The reality is that on any scheduled charters in Africa, there will be luggage restrictions. Short of charter-ing your own flight (which we can do), our advice is to bring only the essential camera equipment. Having too much equipment can actually hinder your photography. Also, you can get washing done in camp and with a fairly moderate to hot climate, you can afford to pack light. In short, bring fewer clothes so that you can bring more camera gear! Depending on the safari you book, we will be able to advise you on exact weight restrictions.

14. What amount of spending money should I bring along?
Our tours cover all travel, food and accommodation costs (unless otherwise stated). This means that spending money can be kept to souvenirs, curios and books. This normally amounts to Euro 10.00 per person per day.
15. Commercial representation and wildlife photography consulting
C4 Photo Safaris has the full capacity to plan and run commercial photo shoots for professional clients. We are able to supply you with the best guides in the wildlife photography industry as well as organize and run all your ground handling logistics for the shoot. Our know-ledge of African travel logistics combined with our specialized knowledge of wildlife and the best places to photograph them, places us in the perfect position to plan and run your commer-cial shoot. Please contact Shem with your request. Additionally we can supply photographers for the shoot where they would work under the production name. On all tours with c4 images andsafaris, our guides have the right to take photographs. Their goal is to get you into the right position and tutor you into getting the best photograph. Once they have done so, they have full rights to take their own photographs. The rights of the guides and all of their images remains with the individual guide who took the photographs. No other person has any rights over the photographs taken by a guide representing C4 Photo Safaris.
