Savannah, mountains, and bush come together in the Tuli Block, creating a unique ecosystem that supports incredible biodiversity.

Rhinos, elephants, lions, leopards, and hippos roam the vast area of the reserve on what was once farmland but is being restored into its true wilderness state. The reserve is a birding paradise as it is home to 350 different species of birds.

The fully fenced game & wilderness reserve offers an excellent network of tracks, leading up to a variety of waterholes, picnic spots, and viewing hides. Encountering other explorers is a rarity, with only limited tourism being permitted.
