You've jumped the international border to Botswana and found the
dusty well-used gravel strip just north of the Limpopo River.
You've landed on the Tuli Block -- an 18,000-acre private game reserve between the Limpopo and Shashe Rivers. The land once belonged to British magnate Cecil Rhodes. Desolate to the casual glance, the burned sand and scrub is the domain of elephant, lion, leopard, hyena, eland, and other antelope. Fuel is not available but Immigration and Customs formalities for entering or leaving Botswana can be accomplished
on the field (by prior arrangement). The Tuli Block is an excellent first-day’s destination at the beginning of a Self-Fly Safari^®.
