The Northern Tuli Game Reserve (NTGR) is located in the easternmost corner of Botswana, close to the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site in South Africa. Here is a unique, timeless corner of Africa where nature and culture combine in spectacular wildlife, breathtaking landscapes and fascinating history.

Set in spacious gardens along the banks of the Limpopo River against a backdrop of stunning sandstone outcrops, Tuli Safari Lodge is also unique. Here the welcome is genuinely warm and the ambience is charmingly ageless.

The echo of ancient cultures resounds at the many sites of archaeological and spiritual significance, whilst meaningful visits with local communities showcase contemporary rural Botswana life.

Each day brings a new adventure as Tuli offers a truly authentic wildlife experience. NTGR is an unfenced
wilderness extending to 72000 hectares, at the heart of the proposed Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier
Conservation Area.

Here roams the largest elephant population on private land in Africa, together with leopard, cheetah, wild dog and
lion, vast herds of plains game and over 350 bird species. Not forgetting the resident bushbuck and mongoose
families that make the lodge their home, nor the elephant shrews that frequent one of our favourite sundowner
spots!

At Tuli, you set the pace … with varied activities to enjoy and idyllic grounds to relax in. Game drives and bush walks with exceptional guides, hides tucked away in the bush (where you can also stay overnight for the ultimate back-to-nature experience!) and horse rides in the wild … with cosy suites, a sparkling pool, waterhole and star-deck awaiting your return to the lodge.

Community visit
A visit to local village Mothabaneng includes a visit to the school, a wine-tasting experience with a difference (at the lala-palm ‘distillery’), a chance to see
traditional basket-weaving in action and an opportunity to see some of our community projects. The community visits are normally in the afternoon and last approximately 2 hours. 50% of the community visit charge is allocated to our community fund.

Africa and Zimbabwe meet. A picnic lunch is included, and you will be back at the lodge early afternoon.

Day trip to Molema
A day visit exploring the Western section of the reserve. En route we pass sites of great historical, cultural and spiritual significance and the geologically fascinating Solomon’s Wall. We also visit a wetland area (great for birding depending on the time of year) and dam (where enormous herds of elephants are
known to drink). We arrive at Molema – our self-catering camp beautifully located on the banks of the Limpopo, a joint venture project established with the local community – in time for a leisurely picnic lunch and rest. We then take a slow game drive back, including the usual stop for sundowners, and returning to the lodge in time for dinner.
