Additional activities
In addition to the ‘normal’ activities above which are included in your stay, there are many other things that you may wish to do whilst at Tuli. Please note there is an additional charge for some of these activities - please contact us for more info.
Additional drives/walks – two guided game activities per day are included in your stay, but subject to availability we can arrange additional drives or walks for you. Please note that children must aged over 12 to participate in bush walks.
Hides – there are several hides situated at key sites across the Tuli reserve. You can spend time in these with your guide as part of a morning or afternoon drive, or if you prefer you can spend some time on your own at the hides with just your binoculars, some drinks and snacks for company. There is also the option of sleeping out at the hides overnight, subject to availability.
Horse rides – we can arrange for morning/afternoon or day rides with a well-established horseback safari operator based a few minutes from the lodge.
A night under canvas – if you'd like to get a little closer to nature, our tented bush camp Nokalodi is just a few kms from the lodge, situated in beautiful riverine bush. The tents are very comfortable and have en-suite outdoor bathrooms and private patios.
Community visit – an opportunity to visit the village of Motlabaneng. Our tour includes a visit to the school, a wine-tasting experience with a difference (at the lala-palm ‘distillery’) and a chance to see traditional basket-weaving, as well as the opportunity to see some of our community projects in action. Guests also have the option to visit the village of Lentswe-le-Moriti with its traditional culture house, where they can learn more about local customs, enjoy a traditional Setswana meal, see the 'kgotla' (court) and visit the local school. Community visits are normally in the afternoon and last approx. 2 hours. 50% of the community visit charge is allocated to our community fund.
After dinner drive – an optional extra if you are particularly keen to try and spot some nocturnal species.
Visit to the confluence – a morning trip across the Eastern section of the reserve to the confluence of the Shashe and Limpopo rivers, a unique and scenic spot where Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe meet. A picnic lunch is included.
Day trip to Molema - a day visit exploring the Western section of the reserve. En-route we pass sites of great historical, cultural and spiritual significance and the geologically fascinating Solomon's Wall. We also visit a wetland area (great for briding depending on the time of year) and dam (where enormous herds of elephants are know to drink). We arrive at Molema - our self-catering camp beautifully located on the banks of the Limpopo, ajoint venture project with the local community - in time for a leisurely picnic lunch and rest. We then take a slow game drive back, including the usual stop for sundowners.
