The Tuli Block of Botswana is a unique and scenic region in the easternmost part of the country, bordering South Africa and Zimbabwe. A captivating gem of diverse landscapes, the Tuli Block is a mosaic of vast plains, riverine forests, rocky hills, and majestic sandstone ridges running alongside the Limpopo River. Protected by private reserves, this wilderness haven offers exceptional wildlife and birding adventures, from photographic hides and night drives to walking safaris and horseback explorations. Upgrade your stay to white-sheeted luxury and guided activities to fully embrace the Tuli’s untamed beauty – a must on any self-drive itinerary through Botswana.
The Tuli Block is absolutely one of my favourite places to visit! The landscape really makes for interesting views and scenic game drives, even when there isn’t much wildlife to see… which is pretty much never!
We have had some of our most incredible wildlife and bird sightings in the Tuli block - from leopards, cheetahs and lions on kills or with tiny cubs (yep, we have seen all 3 in this area!), to brown hyenas in their den, to the very rare Pels Fishing Owl - we have never been disappointed in Tuli block.
This area holds a special place in our hearts and is always added on to our trip itineraries on our way to or coming home from Botswana!
