Northern Tuli Game Reserve

The Northern Tuli Game Reserve is a private wildlife reserve in the Tuli Block area of southeast Botswana.

Understand
The Northern Tuli Game Reserve is a private reserve covering an area of 72000 ha made up of savannah plains, riverine forests, open marshland and rugged outcrops of sandstone. It is one of the largest private reserves in Southern Africa and has the largest elephant population in the world. Wildlife in Northern Tuli is less seasonal than in the rest of Botswana, which means it's a great place to view animals year-round. Along with leopards, lions and elephants, Northern Tuli showcases aardwolves, African wildcats, honey badgers, spotted hyenas and black-backed jackals. Northern Tuli also hosts elands, which are not found elsewhere in Botswana.

Do
Being a private reserve, Northern Tuli has far more adventure tourism facilities than Botswana's public parks and reserves. Available activities include:
 * Hiking safari
 * Biking safari
 * Horseback riding
 * Hot air balloon ride

Sleep
The reserve is subdivided into smaller reserves such as the Mashatu Game Reserve. Each sub-reserve offers its own character of lodgings, although most are pretty plush.
