Mashi Conservancy

Mashi Conservancy

The name Mashi is derived from the name of a fruit tree, and is also an alternative name for the Kwando River, which borders the conservancy. It was registered in 2003 and covers 297 km2. There are 2,310 people in the densely populated area. Mashi is situated in north east Namibia’s Zambezi Region. The Kwando river and its floodplains lie to the west, with Kalahari woodlands to the east of the conservancy.

Wildlife includes lion, leopard, elephant, hippo, roan, sitatunga, cheetah, reedbuck, kudu, duiker, warthog, crocodile, bushbuck, lechwe, steenbok, hippo, tsessebe, interesting bird life and various fish species.

Income is derived from conservation and own-use hunting, crafts and tourism. Mashi has joint-venture tourism agreements with Camp Kwando and Namushasha Lodge, which are both situated on the picturesque Kwando River, which runs south from the Angolan border with Zambia before opening into a flood plain in Namibia.
