Offbeat Tuli Block

Escape the crowds and uncover Tuli Block, Botswana’s hidden safari gem. At Charlie’s Travels, we’re all about offbeat destinations, and Tuli delivers just that! Teeming with wildlife and surrounded by lush, hilly landscapes, it offers an unforgettable adventure.

About the Area

The Tuli Block is Botswana’s best-kept secret – a unique alliance of private concessions forming one of Southern Africa’s largest private game reserves.

Situated in eastern Botswana, the Tuli Block lies in a narrow strip along the Limpopo River, where Botswana, South Africa, and Zimbabwe meet. Much of the land was previously farmland and remains privately owned, but it has since been developed into a private game reserve known as the "Northern Tuli Game Reserve".

Tuli Block is Botswana’s best-kept secret.

The landscape is rugged, featuring dramatic rock formations, gorges, and ancient trees, as well as striking inselbergs. Paired with the largest elephant population on private land, it’s no wonder this area is nicknamed the Land of Giants.

Off the Beaten Track, Yet Accessible!

If you’re embarking on a self-drive road trip, incorporating a visit to the Tuli Block is both adventurous and practical. Close to South Africa’s border, it’s convenient to start and end your journey in Johannesburg. Flights to Johannesburg are not only more accessible but also more affordable than flights to Botswana.

While you’re there, why not explore the trendy vibe of Jo’burg, the renowned Greater Kruger area, or the stunning Panorama Route? It’s the perfect way to enhance your Tuli adventure!
