Northern Tuli Game Reserve
Why holiday in Northern Tuli Game Reserve?
The Northern Tuli Game Reserve lies in the remote eastern corner of Botswana, on the border with South Africa and Zimbabwe and where the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers converge. The landscape is varied and utterly breathtaking, with towering sandstone cliffs, kopjes, riverine forests and bushland. Sitting on the banks of the Limpopo River, surrounded by beautiful scenery, is the privately owned Mashatu Game Reserve.
This true wilderness area is known as the ‘Land of the Giants’ for a number of reasons – it is home to a large elephant population, the largest land animals on earth, as well as apex predators including lions, leopards and cheetah. The reserve is dotted with ancient baobab trees, their giant forms a defining feature of the Mashatu landscape. Africa’s largest antelope, the eland, can be found here, as well as giraffe, the tallest animals in the world.
Mashatu is a place for outdoor adventures, from game drives by day and night to walking, cycling and horseback safaris. For the ultimate wilderness experience, we suggest a night under the stars, an unforgettable experience.
A few days at Mashatu can be easily added onto a holiday in South Africa, ask our team for their advice and suggestions.

Where to stay in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve
We had a fabulous trip staying at 3 lodges in Botswana. My late husband and I were keen bird watchers and I donated his binoculars to one of the lodges there, for which they were very appreciative. Thank you for everything you did.

"Back home after another fabulous holiday. The lodges were all of the same high standard of cleanliness, food quality and presentation with all members of staff helpful, friendly and as immaculately turned out as we remember from 4 years ago. The guides were all brilliant with their knowledge, enthusiasm and great sense of humour. We did a 4 hour game walk-brilliant! Again a great holiday - may well return in a few years!!"

" Just want to say a huge thank you for organising this honeymoon for us! It’s been even better than we ever imagined it could be. I couldn’t even tell you a highlight because I felt like we had one every day! "
Mr & Mrs R
"The holiday was absolutely fantastic. Saw all the big 5 except rhinos.The accommodation was top class (lovely big beds), the people who staffed it were so friendly, guides were so knowledgeable, you really felt they wanted you to visit their country. We did a helicopter tour over Victoria falls, which were awe inspiring - another highlight of the holiday. All the transfers were smooth and efficient and this reduced any stress in the holiday, loved the small plane hops between camps in Botswana. We had an unforgettable holiday and will be boring our friends and family with it for months. Thanks for your help in organising this wonderful holiday. "

When to travel to the Northern Tuli Game Reserve
The dry winter months from May to September offer the best wildlife viewing, as animals congregate at the water sources. October to April brings high temperatures and the little rain this region receives, but with it lush green landscapes, baby animals and migratory birdlife.
