Mashatu: A team to be reckoned with – meet Russel and Lynne

It was their love and passion for the bush that led them together onto the road of discovery and brought them to EcoTraining, with Russel as head instructor and Lynne as camp coordinator.

When hearing about their childhood and past adventures we realised that both Russel and Lynne are adventurous people with a deep appreciation for the wilderness and the positive impact it can have on a person.   With Lynne’s hospitality background and Russel’s guiding experience in the Okavango Delta for Wilderness Safaris, we know that our Mashatu camp and its students are in very capable and caring hands.

Watch this video to meet Mashatu’s new dream team: Russel and Lynn

Meeting them online is one thing, now it’s time for all our new and potential students to meet Russel and Lynne in person. We hope to welcome you to Mashatu soon!

The colours, the sounds and the presence of three gigantic elephants make this feel like a scene from a movie.
