Reserve Information
The Central Tuli Block is an area of stunning natural beauty stretching across 60,000 hectares of the Northern Tuli region east of Botswana. An unfenced area teeming with diverse wildlife, including elephant, eland, lion, leopard, brown and spotted hyena, bat-eared fox and many more species of animals and plants.
Bird watchers will be delighted by the abundance of avian life in the area, particularly along the riparian forests that line the majestic Limpopo River.
In addition to its wealth of wildlife, the Central Tuli Block is home to secluded permanent springs which draw thirsty animals from far and wide - especially elephants during dryer times of the year.
The landscape is characterised by stunning domed koppies, candelabra trees and giant baobabs, hence the region's local nickname, "land of giants".
