Farm for Sale in Northern Tuli Game Reserve

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial 3,426-hectare property in Botswana’s renowned Central Tuli Block, where the Limpopo River, ancient baobabs, rocky koppies and free-roaming wildlife create an authentic African wilderness setting. The property offers a rare combination of scale, natural beauty, river frontage and existing tourism infrastructure, making it particularly suited to a private safari retreat, lodge operation, exclusive-use destination or further tourism development. A TRUE TULI BLOCK LANDSCAPE The property is characterised by the dramatic scenery for which the Tuli Block is renowned, including rocky outcrops, koppies, mountains, open plains, Mopani woodland, dry riverbeds and extensive panoramic views. Large Baobab, Leadwood, Apple Leaf, Acacia and Combretum trees occur throughout the property, with numerous prominent baobabs creating striking silhouettes across the landscape. The property is unfenced, as are many neighbouring properties in the Central and Northern Tuli region, allowing wildlife — particularly elephants — to move freely across the landscape. A reciprocal traversing agreement is suggested and preferred by the current owners, potentially opening access to an extended wilderness area of approximately 8,000 hectares for wildlife viewing, birding and exploration. RIVERSIDE LODGE ACCOMMODATION The existing lodge is positioned directly on the banks of the Limpopo River beneath large shady trees and currently provides approximately 16 beds. Accommodation includes: • 2 chalets, each accommodating 2 guests, with a shared bathroom • 4 rondawels, each accommodating 2 guests • 3 rondawels with private outdoor bathrooms • 1 en-suite rondawel • Overhead fans • Linen and towels • Servicing of accommodation units The lodge includes a fully equipped self-catering kitchen with fridge/freezer, together with a thatched kitchen and bar area. A separate bar and braai area with deck provides an ideal setting overlooking the Limpopo River, complemented by a boma and fire pit. A swimming pool provides an additional recreational facility during the warmer months. The existing owners currently use two of the chalets privately, while the remaining accommodation can be furnished for guests. The lodge could also be adapted for a fully catered operation by a future owner. ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE The property includes an office currently used as an ironing room, with Starlink Wi-Fi reception. Staff accommodation consists of six quarters together with a kitchen. The property is supplied by electrically connected submersible borehole pumps, including solar-powered boreholes serving the wildlife water points, while electricity is supplied from the Botswana national grid. Foundations from an original farmhouse remain near the lodge. The area could potentially accommodate a new manager's residence, carports, storerooms or workshops, with access to nearby water and electricity. WATER & WILDLIFE Three earthen dams provide additional water sources for wildlife and are supplied by solar-powered boreholes. Several seasonal pans occur across the property, including an additional seasonal pan with a nearby borehole that could potentially be commissioned for pumping. A further strong borehole and pan are located towards the rear of the property and are not currently commissioned. The combination of permanent and seasonal water sources enhances the property's appeal as a wildlife destination. The surrounding Tuli landscape is renowned for free-roaming elephant populations and diverse wildlife, while the Limpopo River and surrounding vegetation provide excellent opportunities for birding and wildlife viewing. The broader Tuli region is recognised for its exceptional biodiversity and safari tourism. ACCESS & TOURISM LOCATION The property is situated approximately 15 km from the Platjan Border Post, providing convenient access between Botswana and South Africa. Platjan is regarded as an important access point for the Central Tuli area and southern sections of the Northern Tuli Game Reserve. The broader region is well established as a safari destination, with a number of established lodges, camps and private wildlife properties in the Central and Northern Tuli areas. The Tuli Block also benefits from access by air via Limpopo Valley Airfield, which serves the Northern Tuli safari region and provides an important fly-in option for safari guests. A PROPERTY WITH SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL With its substantial landholding, Limpopo River frontage, existing lodge infrastructure, wildlife, water resources and potential reciprocal traversing arrangement, this property presents an attractive opportunity for an investor looking to establish or expand a safari, hospitality or private wilderness operation in one of Botswana's most distinctive wildlife regions.
