We had an unexpected offer to go to Tuli for two nights. We had high expectations. We have stayed at Mashatu (Limpopo River Lodge) and I can truly say that Mashatu is my happy place. So we were very excited to go to Tuli, although Having high expectations can lead to disappointment. The positive attributes are the amazingly friendly staff.... More

Thank you very much for posting your kind review of your short stay at Tuli Safari Lodge in December 2011, on our TripAdvisor page, we appreciate your comments. It’s really difficult to compare Tuli Safari Lodge with Mashatu, as they are too very different operations, and priced accordingly. Being an older establishment, the rooms we offer at Tuli are somewhat... More

Tuli Safari Lodge is set amongst rock cliffs just over the Botswana border from S Africa. It's quite remote but the setting is spectacular as is the lodge grounds. Huge trees with flowering canopies make you feel as though you're in a storybook. The grounds are lush and green and at the back of the property is the Limpopo river... More

We pulled up to this resort in the late evening, and the magical setting was so welcoming. The service from there on did not disappoint. Great, knowledgeable *incredibly* kind staff (Our guide Abraham was about as perfect as I could want), good food and a gorgeous setting made for a stellar week on safari. Highly reccomended. More

We visited Tuli Safari Lodge in Botswana for 4 nights in September 2011. It was a magical experience. Tuli is located by the Limpopo River in a magnificently wild, beautiful and unspoilt area of Botswana. The Lodge is an oasis of green in the rocky wilderness. Our accommodation ("Warthog") was spacious, comfortable and well named - with small families of... More

Just completed our fourth visit to Tuli and our 8th to South Africa. Tuli has become a home to us. There is no way to describe the incredible service of all the staff- especially Brinny. Our guide, Alex, taught us a huge amount about the animals, the topography and the culture of this majestic area. The lodge itself is beautiful... More

We didn't stay in the lodge, but in the self catering tented camp. We've spent the first night of our trip through Botswana in one of the safari tents. We were both stunned by the beauty of this place, it's a gem. Someone took care of our fire and someone else lighted all oil and gas lamps before we got... More

I have been to Chobe, the Delta (Chief's Camp) and the CKGR (and several game parks in South Africa), and Tuli is my favorite of them all—Tuli Safari Lodge and the game park as a whole. It is truly a spectacular setting for game viewing and relaxing. I love the red rock backdrop to the lodge that offers a panoramic... More

We stayed at Tuli Lodge in 2010. What a disappointment. For the price, one would expect exceptionaly high service, but the food was poor and meagre, the whole lodge area in disrepair and the pool area dirty. Evening dinner was in the boma, which started immediately after the game drive, giving no time to shower and dress. We had to... More

We do value all our guests and... More
