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, whils meaningful visits with local communities showcase contemporary rural Botswana life.

Wild Tuli
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.
Majestic Tuli There’s much more to the Tuli magic. Here is a majestic land of dramatic vistas, vast skies and magnificent trees. Tuli is a geologist’s dream. The rich hues and time-worn faces of the sandstone cliffs form a striking backdrop to
Tuli’s wildlife spectacle and human drama. The legendary Limpopo and mighty baobabs embody the Tuli spirit. When night falls, the starlit canopy seems close enough to touch. As Tuli is so easily accessible from South Africa, it fits well with a trip incorporating the Limpopo and North West Provinces, including the Waterberg, Northern Kruger and Mapungubwe. It is also a natural staging post en route to the Kalahari, Okavango or Chobe, and on to Victoria Falls.
With 8 individually designed suites and an established team of friendly staff, we offer a highly personalised stay, which can be as relaxed or exciting as you choose. Each air-conditioned suite has en-suite bathroom, double/twin
beds (or family rooms) and sitting areas in and outdoors. Meals are served in a variety of alfresco locations – we try not to eat in the same place twice!
Our additional lodge facilities include a large swimming pool, waterhole, star deck, cultural and heritage centre (opening in October 2010), curio shop and the original bar built in 1964 around an ancient Nyala berry tree. We can also accommodate small conferences. Responsible tourism is key to our operating philosophy. We are actively involved with several community development projects and have conservation policies in place to ensure sustainable use of our natural resources
