Tuli Safari Lodge

Botswana


In the Northern Tuli Game Reserve, this fine lodge is set in a riverine oasis, surrounded by red-rock country that teems with wildlife. Although at the upper end of the scale for the Tuli Block, the rates are well priced compared to other exclusive private reserves in the country and the standards are high.

Be sure to have a drink at the outdoor bar built around the base of a 500-year-old nyala tree. The game reserve is just beyond the Pont Drift border crossing.
