The ideal place to experience the African bush

Small and quiet, Tuli Safari Lodge is all about relaxation and safari adventures in the wild.

Located in Northern Tuli game reserve, between the Limpopo River and Tuli’s kopjies, in the eastern corner of Botswana, Tuli is a stunning and luxurious safari lodge. The surrounding land has an amazing history, going back 1,000 years. The lodge itself also has an impressive history, originally a farm, the building was turned into a safari lodge in the 1950's and has maintained the style and décor from that period. Tuli Safari lodge can be accessed via a simple, 1-hour flight or a straight drive from Johannesburg.

Eight of the ten rooms available are spacious tented suites, elevated on wrap-around wooden decking that allows stunning views over the surrounding landscape while the interior design is inspired by ‘Out of Africa’. All of the rooms include a bed, tea and coffee making facilities and en-suite bathroom facilities consisting of shower and a bath. The two classic suites are thatched buildings with verandas. They also have outside showers, while the interior is very similar to the tented suites. Main areas include a reception and shop, a bar, swimming pool and lounge area.

Activities include game drives to see Tuli’s wide range of wildlife. You can also go on bush walks, which are an amazing way to experience the African wilderness in a way that calls upon all five of your senses. On these walks, you will pick up a myriad of interesting facts on Tuli’s flora and fauna. These walks can be as strenuous as you want them to be, and can be incorporated into game drives or visits to the lodge’s nearby hide. Other activities include visiting a local village or going to see the unique confluence of the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers.

January

January is the heart of the wet season, with heavy downpours usually in the late afternoons, which is a great excuse to watch the storm from the luxury of your camp or lodge. Much of the wildlife is still there it may just take a little longer to find as its more dispersed due to the surrounding surface water. The lightning can put on quite a show making it an excellent time of year for photography! This time of year is hot, and aside from the rainshowers it's sunny. Migratory birds are breeding, and the young offspring of the plains game will be skipping about the savannahs. This is the best time to see the Zebra and Wildebeest migration as well as large flocks of flamingos down in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Rates are lower during the wet season.

Expand

February

February is also one of the warmer months, and is defined by both sunshine and heavy storms, which making it another great time for photography. It's now that the Central Kalahari begins waking up, with herds of game coming to graze the lush grassland. Again the peak migration should be in the Makgadikgadi now with large herds of wildebeest and zebra in the area. Game viewing is still great in many areas of the Okavango Delta with many of the dried camps on the western side top choice.

Expand

March

The wet season slowly comes to an end, leaving hot, drier days. There is still some rain, but only for short periods during the afternoon. Enjoy the green scenery and the lower accommodation rates. Towards the end of March the wildlife in the Central Kalahari really begins to pick up as large numbers of plains game head in the pans and Valleys. This is a great time of year to combine the Central Kalahari and Okavango Delta.

Expand

April

April is a fine month to visit Botswana, as the nights become cooler and sleeping is easier. Breeding season is underway for plains game, so keep an eye out for the clashing males attempting to woo the females out on the savannahs. Along with the breeding season comes more predator activity as the young animals are easy pickings. This is peak game viewing time in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve making it an integral part of any itinerary.

Expand

May

With the rainy season at an end, the temperature falls, making bush excursions more pleasant. Nights can be a little chilly, so you'll probably need an extra layer if you're heading out on an evening game drive. Skies become clearer and there are fewer mosquitoes. This is one of our favourite months to travel and also marks the final month before the peak season rates kick in in most camps.

Expand

June

June is the middle of winter in Botswana, and is one of the best times to visit the country. Days are pleasantly warm, and nights are spent tucked up cosily in your camp or lodge. Wildlife becomes concentrated around waterholes making it easier to spot. This is a great time to visit the Okavango Delta, Moremi and Chobe.

Expand

July

With warm sunny days, and cool nights, July is the perfect time to be in Botswana. Although this is the dry season, it's a great time to enjoy a traditional mokoro canoe trip as floodwaters begin to rise in the Okavango Delta, flowing down from the highlands of Angola.

Expand

August

The temperature begins to rise again in August, but it's still a superb time for game viewing, and the Makgadikgadi Pans are now accessible through until October. Water is now scarce in many of the parks, making game viewing easy. It's a good time to visit Savute and Linyanti.

Expand

September

Days in September are hot with sunny blue skies, and the nights are no longer cold. It does get quite dusty out in the bush thanks to many months without rain, and game viewing is excellent as predators and prey alike hunt to find water.

Expand

October

October is warmer, and safari activities take place during early mornings and late afternoons to avoid the worst of the heat. This is one of the final month before the rains come and the ground is at its driest making for exceptional game viewing. If you don’t mind hot days this is one of the peak game viewing months

Expand

November

November remains hot, but the rains return mid-month, bringing the plains and forests back to life. If you want to see young animals being born, and lots of predator action, this is the month to come. With rates dropping in November and the rains often falling later on in the month the first 2 weeks of November are a very popular time to travel. It also ties in nicely with great weather in Cape Town and the garden route.

Expand

December

The rainy season is now in full swing with often short heavy down pours int he evening, days are still mostly sunny. landscapes are lush and there is plenty of wildlife activity as the newborns flourish.
