Tuli Block
The Tuli Block is a 350 km long, thin strip of land that defines the Botswana border with South Africa.
The strip consists largely of private reserves or concessions, all dedicated to the preservation of wildlife. The private owners of concessions in the Tuli Block offer travellers a specialized knowledge of the animals, birds and beautiful surroundings.
Tuli has a fascinating adventurers history and is known for its unusual geography, like Solomon's Wall and the Tswapong and Lepoko hills where the ancestors of the Bushmen left traces of their rock art behind.
Northern Tuli Game Reserve
The Northern Tuli Game Reserve, at the merger of the Limpopo and Shashe rivers, is the collective name for various private reserves, including the Mashatu Game Reserve. The whole area covers over 300,000 hectares and is the largest privately managed wildlife conservation area in southern Africa. Much of the area is not restricted, giving the animals a chance to migrate freely between the Motloutse and Limpopo River.
Giant nyala trees and yellow fever trees grow along the riverbanks. Skinny sesame trees take root in the rocky outcrops. Wildebeasts, kudu, eland, impala and waterbuck pass through the area. Lions (some even with black manes), leopards and cheetahs follow the game and mingle with the large herds of elephants.
