Getting to Tuli Block

The area is one of spectacular landscapes very different to the well known safari areas of Botswana and consists of the Tuli Safari Area and Mashatu Private Game Reserve.

Getting to Tuli by air

There is a private airstrip in the Tuli conservation area but no scheduled flights into Tuli are available. Charter flights from within Botswana and from South Africa and Zimbabwe land at the airfield. There is a customs and immigration post at the airstrip to process passengers from neighbouring countries on arrival.
