The Shashe River is a border between Botswana and Zimbabwe.

The river rises south of Plumtree, flowing about 300 km through semi-arid grazing lands and flows about 50 km before Beitbridge in the Limpopo. In the 1950s, this river was pretty wild during the rainy season and on its banks was only the small police station of Tuli. Today the river is tamed and directed in numerous irrigation systems. More and more settlements found on its shores. In the lowest part of the river flows through a protected area, which is operated by Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
