Tuli Safari Lodge | Game Lodges & Resorts Tuli Game Reserve

Set in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve (NTGR), located in the easternmost corner of Botswana. Here is a unique, timeless corner of Africa where nature and culture combine in spectacular wildlife, breathtaking landscapes and fascinating history.
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 eight cosy suites, a sparkling pool, waterhole and star-deck awaiting your return to the lodge.
Tuli is easily accessible from South Africa, and fits in well with a trip incorporating the Waterberg, Kruger National Park and the World Heritage site at Mapungubwe. It is also a natural staging post en route to the Kalahari, Okavango or Chobe, and on to Victoria Falls.

Tuli Safari Lodge provides an idyllic base from which to explore the surrounding area, with its dramatic landscape, diverse flora & fauna and fascinating history. With an established team of friendly staff and just 8 individually designed suites, we can offer our guests a personalised, relaxed and exciting stay.

The lodge is situated in peaceful grounds under the shade of ancient Nyala berry trees, tucked between the banks of the Limpopo and imposing sandstone formations. The lodge is the second longest-established in all Botswana, and traces its origins back to 1964 when the Northern Tuli Game Reserve was created. As such it is unconventional in design and layout, and has a charming home-from-home feel.

All our suites have double or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms with bath and/or shower, indoor and outdoor sitting areas, air conditioning and tea/coffee making facilities. We have two grades of suites – which we call 4 and 5 “ele” - with our “5 ele” suites being the more luxurious, spacious and private.

When you’re not out in the bush, eating or sleeping, there’s plenty to do within the lodge:

* enjoy a refreshing dip in the large swimming pool, which has a small shallow section for children, beautifully positioned by a secluded rocky outcrop
* spot the wildlife visiting the pretty waterhole at the back of the lodge from the safety and comfort of our hide
* enjoy panoramic views of the reserve overlooking a baobab-studded plain from our ‘star deck’ atop one of the sandstone koppes
* sit by the banks of the Limpopo to soak up the atmosphere and spot passing wildlife
* spend time chatting with our resident conservationist, Tanja, about our conservation and community projects or your particular areas of interest
* tour our conservation centre with interesting displays on the area’s birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, geology, vegetation and astronomy
