Plan your Tuli safari ↗Rocky country in Botswana’s east.
Tuli introduces the eastern side of Botswana: rocky outcrops, riverbeds, woodland and a landscape quite different from the Delta. It suits a journey that gives scenery and the character of a place as much attention as a wildlife checklist.
The wider Tuli area includes different properties and reserves. Mashatu is part of this regional picture, but the names should not be treated as exact substitutes. Choose your lodge and activities with its specific location in mind.
What to do in Tuli.
A choice of safari pace
Some stays can be combined with specialist activities in the wider area. Ask what is accessible from your chosen lodge and what needs advance booking.
A distinct route choice
Tuli deserves its own planning time. Do not assume it is a short add-on to a northern fly-in safari; review the connections before committing.
When to visit Tuli.
Plan around the camp’s local conditions, available activities and your comfort in the heat. Regional weather guidance is a starting point; the operator’s current advice matters for specialist outings.

How long to stay.
Allow three or four nights as a starting point. Extra time can suit a stay focused on photography or other specialist interests, subject to the programme available.
