In the far east, where the Limpopo and Shashe rivers meet, the Tuli Block is like nowhere else in Botswana. This is a land of red rock and giant baobabs, of riverine forest and open plains, roamed by some of the largest elephant herds on private land in Africa. It is wonderfully wild, brilliant for photography and walking, and easy to reach, which makes it a rewarding add-on or a wild escape in its own right.

Why go
