TULI
SAFARI LODGE
Tuli Safari
Lodge is situated on the banks of the Limpopo River in eastern
Botswana, which is fast becoming Africa's, if not the world's,
premier wildlife destination. The Lodge's roughly 25,000 acres
forms a part of the 400,000 acres making up the the Limpopo cross
frontier natural park wildlife enclave.
The Camp comprises
of 8 thatched units, all situated within the most beautiful oasis,
shaded by huge Nyala-berry trees.
All the chalets
have en-suite bathrooms. We have 4 chalets sleeping two, whilst
2 sleep four, the house sleeps 8 (which is ideal for families)
and the cottage sleeps 4.
All the accommodation
is fully serviced. The entire camp is carpeted with emerald lawns,
vibrant bougainvillea tumble over thatch, while a sparkling pool
offers cool relief from the midday heat.
Children and
their grandparents are always welcome at Tuli Lodge.
The lodge
has a number of different dining areas. One is a beautiful typical
African "Boma" complete with well stocked wine cellar.
The others are on the various patios under large shady trees surrounded
by acres of green lawn, invariably dotted with mongooses, vervet
monkeys, baboons, bush buck and dassies.
A beautifully
located swimming pool is protected by a rocky outcrop with indigenous
bush and is wonderful after a walk or a game drive.
A lookout
position over the Limpopo river in tranquil surroundings often
yields rare bird sightings, a crocodile or elephants. This will
often present unexpected and wonderful wildlife sightings.
Conference
facilities and equipment are available on request.
Meals are
informal and friendly affairs presided over by beautifully dressed,
cheerful, local waitresses who always have a ready smile and delight
in being helpful. The content of the three daily meals varies
and consist of good, plentiful food in sufficient quantity and
quality to more than satisfy most guests and dinner always includes
a "venison special" . The lodge tariff includes three
meals a day and an endless supply of tea and coffee.
The Limpopo
River, when flowing, and riverine forest are home to many large
crocodiles, monitor lizards and hippopotami. It is common to see
the drag mark of the body of a large python which has crossed
the sandy road but they are shy and secretive and are not always
easily found.
Tuli is the
permanent home of many raptors including both the fish eagle and
the magnificent martial eagle. During summer the number and variety
increase dramatically and groups of over 50 raptors are sometimes
found feeding together on some bushveld delicacy. One is always
able to find and study black eagles as they are also permanent
residents and have a nest on one of the 'sundowner' sandstone
hills overlooking the canopies of the riverine forest.
With over
350 bird species having been recorded here over the years, the
trees are always alive with a variety of hornbills, rollers, woodpeckers,
kingfishers and many other "Birders" delights.
Your experienced
ranger and Tswana tracker will bring you closer to these magnificent
animals, in one of the last unspoiled vestiges of the bushveld
in Africa.
The well-trained,
friendly game rangers have amazing knowledge of animals, birds
and trees. Game drives through spectacular and impressive African
countryside commence at 6 am and 4 pm. The variety in the terrain
and easy spotting of game guarantees an interesting experience.
Additional drives or walks can be arranged on request.
The thrill
of night time game viewing with the chance to see the rare aardwolf,
civet, genet, African wild cat, spring hare, porcupine and antbear.
Guests, always
accompanied by an armed game ranger, are allowed to walk in the
bush at Tuli Lodge. Numerous sundowner vantage points on the top
of sandstone koppies are accessed by a short walk from the vehicles
and give the visitor that free-wilderness-spiritual experience
which is rare for any commercial game lodge.
We offer the
most romantic of wedding settings in our expansive garden of majestic
trees. Attractive waterfall features and stunning sunset backdrops
on the sandstone rocks make memorable photographs.
We can create
a stunning church of flowers, arrange the best photographers,
ethnic entertainment and an elegant bush party after the event,
tailored to your specific wishes.
Complete packages
are available, from food to flowers all done by professional caterers.
