Game Drives

Venture into 2,600 hectares of untamed wilderness — part of a 100,000-hectare unfenced conservation area with roaming wildlife and over 400 bird species.

Our guides bring the landscape to life with stories, tracks, and insights that reveal the magic of Tuli.

Each drive is different — a blend of silence, surprise, and awe as the bush unveils its secret in its own time.

Whether it’s golden light over the Limpopo, the quiet thrill of a leopard’s call at dusk or searching for nocturnal inhabitants on a night drive every journey leaves you a little more connected to the wild.

Wild Sleep Outs

For the brave and the dreamers, a night in the Treehouse Sleepout is pure African magic.

Perched above the wild landscapes of Botswana, you’ll drift off to the chorus of crickets and wake to sunrise spilling over the Tuli landscape.

With the stars as your ceiling and nature as your soundtrack, it’s an experience that stays with you long after morning breaks.

Bird Watching

From dawn’s first call to the hush of late afternoon, Mopani on Tuli is alive with wings, colour, and song.

Home to over 400 bird species, the reserve offers endless moments for quiet observation and rare sightings — from lilac-breasted rollers to fish eagles on the Limpopo.

Spend time slowing down, tuning in, and experience the bush through the eyes — and songs — of its winged residents.

Bush Dining

There’s something unforgettable about sharing a meal under open skies, where firelight dances and the sounds of the bush become your background music.

At Mopani on Tuli, bush breakfasts and dinners are moments to slow down and savour — fresh food, warm company, and the wild all around you.

Whether it’s sunrise coffee by the Limpopo or a candlelit feast beneath a baobab, every meal becomes part of the story you’ll take home.

Star Gazing

When the sun slips below the sandstone ridges and the night deepens to velvet, the sky above Mopani on Tuli transforms into an unbroken ocean of stars.

Far from city lights, the Tuli Block offers some of the clearest, darkest skies in Southern Africa — a sanctuary for dreamers, storytellers, and skywatchers alike.

Bring a blanket, a warm drink, and a sense of awe — the night sky will take care of the rest.

Hippo Pools Boma

Perched on the banks of the Limpopo River, with breathtaking views and the soundtrack of the wild all around, this hidden gem is pure tranquility.

It’s the perfect setting for a sunrise bush breakfast or a moonlit dinner braai, where the flicker of firelight dances on the water’s edge.

Or simply spend the day unwinding in the boma, fully immersed in the calm rhythm of the river and the timeless stillness of the African bush.

Jordie's Dam Boma

Found in a serene, private setting, this historic cattle kraal has been reimagined into a quiet retreat overlooking a vibrant waterhole teeming with wildlife.

A charming treehouse hide offers peace and seclusion — the perfect perch for slow, immersive game viewing.

Complete with a boma fire pit, braai, and toilet facilities, Jordi’s Dam is ideal for a relaxed day trip or an unforgettable overnight camping experience beneath the stars.

It’s a place where the stillness of the bush and the rhythm of wildlife flow together — timeless, grounding, and deeply Mopani.

"The bush is calling — ready to trade routine for riverbeds, stars, and stillness?"

TESTIMONALS

A unbelievable bush experience! Stunning lodge, with en suite accommodation, a pool overlooking watering hole, finished with fire side dinners. Breakfast can be enjoyed on game drives overlooking extraordinary Limpopo River - everything you could ask for delivered by knowledgeable and friendly staff. There is the option to sleep under the stars in a tree house in the middle of the bush for a night overlooking a dam frequented by large Elephant herds. All round, an absolute must place to visit for a proper bush experience.

First class lodge, with exceptional additional experience at the limpopo river boma for relaxing and leisurely breakfast, and dinners and sleep over at the dam and tree house.

So much on offer re activities, and game viewing excellent.

The lodge is equivalent to any 5 star Lodge and the configuration fantastic for family, take over whole lodge. Beautifully decorated and extremely well priced and affordable.

Staff great, and owners, the shaw brothers do fantastic hosting of guests.

Having travelled to many lodges, I am extremely partial and biased as in 42 years of bush Lodge visits I had the awesome sighting of leopard with 2 cubs and an ardwark, was amazing.

We had an unforgettable stay at Mopani Farm in Botswana! The lodge is absolutely gorgeous and luxurious, and the staff couldn't be more wonderful and helpful. My favorite spot in the lodge was the swimming pool—truly a perfect spot to relax. The surrounding bushveld is wild and stunning, with beautiful koppies, dry scrubby areas, incredible rock formations and salt pans that set the perfect backdrop for safari adventures. We saw up close wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, and so much more. The absolute highlight was enjoying coffee on the banks of the Limpopo River—I've never witnessed anything as wild and majestic. Highly recommend Mopani Farm for an experience that blends luxury with the raw beauty of nature!

This safari lodge in the Thuli Block delivered an absolutely extraordinary experience - from our pristine, secluded house that felt like a private sanctuary to practicing yoga beside the legendary Limpopo River, witnessing the rare delight of otters playing in their natural habitat, and savoring incredible home-cooked meals prepared with such care, all while enjoying completely private, untouched wildlife viewing opportunities in Botswana's breathtaking wilderness. Thank you to Brandon, Lee and all the staff for making our stay so memorable
