What a lovely camp and superb staff. Excellent for nature lovers and those wanting their own space and not be controlled by set activity and meal times whether looking for self-catered or full board accommodation. A beautiful property embracing the essence of the 'Tuli'... We will be back for sure. Thank you Helena and Judy.
We had a very nice stay at Helana and Judy's island in the bush. Previous reviewers have made a good description about the facilities and I wholeheartily agree. Food was fantastic and it was very interesting to hear about the day-to day running of a game farm and Botswana practicalities. We were in KwaTuli during the dry season and although general wildlife concentrations were low we still saw plenty of elephants at close quarters from the wonderful hides on the farm. We also saw porcupine and genet in the camp at night from VERY close and spotted African wildcat during a night drive. The landscape is great, especially the Northern part of the farm has some beautiful kopjes. We would like to go back some day in a different season when there's more water. Frank
This was my first bush camp experience that didn't involve hiking with a tent on my back for 7 days, so bear that in mind as you read this... I loved the Island Camp at Wild at Tuli. It managed to find the balance between actual camping and not having to forego too many of the basics. The tents were large, easily accommodating a king bed, dresser, and desk, with a comfortable mattress and warm duvet. The outdoor bathroom was a refreshing change, although large ants crawled over the toilet at night (to be expected in the middle of the bush, I suppose, and they weren't actually a hinderance). Still, the water was hot, and the footed bathtub was very pretty. Although there is no electricity, light was provided by a series of oil lamps, so there was no struggling with an awkward…
I almost don't want to spoil the secret, but Kwa Tuli is a hidden gem. This is someone's own much-loved holiday home, and as such has everything there that you would want in your own occasional bolt-hole, rather than a money-making scheme as we encountered elsewhere in Tuli Block. The tents are huge and have carpet, which is a massive benefit when you're padding around from the outdoor bathroom. The slipper bath is something I never thought to find in the bush; the showers are great, the beds huge, and even though this is serious bush living, it's also got an element of luxury I haven't found outside the over-priced over-glam 5* lodges. The staff are charming, sitting on the scary bridge and fishing by day, disappearing once the fires are lit at night, running great walks and…
An absolutely wonderful place with an amazing setting, superb accommodation and great camp staff. We were a group of three couples so had the whole camp to ourselves. We were picked up by the ranger, Tipps, at the South Africa/Botswana border and driven to the island. Stunning! The bridge to get onto the island is as scary as it looks but worth the fear. The photos do not do justice to the island or the accommodation. All impeccably maintained and very comfortable. Tents are what they are described i.e they have a distinct "out of Africa" feel but with the luxury of outdoor slipper baths with wonderfully framed views into the bush as well as private outside toilet and shower to each tent. Each has an external deck area with bush & water views. The boma and plunge pool were very…
