Wild at Tuli

Top choice in Botswana

LoginSave

This fabulous camp on an island in a branch of the Limpopo River is run by respected conservationists Judi Gounaris and Dr Helena Fitchat, and they bring a winning combination of warmth and conservation knowledge to the experience. Meals are home-cooked and eaten around the communal table and the tents are extremely comfortable.

Game drives on the 50-sq-km property (home to a full but often-elusive complement of predators) are included in the price. You'll need to bring your own drinks and ice.

They’ll even let you sleep in one of the hides overlooking a water hole.
