Fly-in: Overseas visitors to the Tuli Area can fly into the Limpopo Valley Airfield (LVA) from Lanseria in Johannesburg or from Maun. Here they will clear customs and immigration and will be collected via game viewer and taken to their lodge. There are daily scheduled flights in and out of LVA from Lanseria and guests can also request charter flights into LVA from any other surrounding country or town.

Driving: Guests can cross into the Tuli area over the Limpopo River from South Africa using one of three border crossings: Platjan (Central Tuli)– situated near the town of Alldays in South Africa this border boasts a large bridge that is mostly used for vechicular traffic and tourism. This is the best place to cross into Botswana especially if the river is in flood – this will then be the only entry point. Martins Drift – situated near the town of Martins Drift in South Africa and is a busy border with a lot of heavy traffic with long wait times. Pontdrift – very small border crossing that operates a cable-car to get guests across the river – please note, there is a charge for this. Please check the operating times of these borders before attempting to make your way into Botswana over the Limpopo River. Due to animals on the roads, it is not advisable to drive at night.

Flights to nearby towns: Guests can fly into either Hoedspruit or Polokwane using a South African domestic carrier and a road transfer can be organised for them to get to their chosen accommodation. Costs will vary depending on vehicle and number of guests.

The Tuli area is well known for having no green season making it a good destination to visit throughout the year. In the summer months (November to March) you will find that rivers are full and there will be an abundance of young animals. April to October are the dry winter months when the vegetation thins out and animals are drawn to the natural springs and the river to quench their thirst. The weather is pleasantly warm by day, cooling significantly overnight. Warm clothes are essential for morning and evening game drives. Summer brings rainfall which can make parts of the reserve difficult to navigate, and the mercury rises significantly but the presence of migrant bird species and energetic young animals in lush vegetation make this a sight to be seen!
