TULI AMAZING!
- The Tuli Block must be one of Botswana's most underrated destinations.
Tucked away in the eastern corner of the country, the region boasts striking scenery, excellent game viewing and some first-class roading.
This brand new guided trail explores some of the most
beautiful parts of the Tuli Block, incorporating game
viewing, visits to interesting geological features and, of
course plenty of off-road fun.
The trail is seasonal and there is plenty of
water and mud to keep you busy. If you plan to do the trail
during the summer months make sure you bring along a
recovery kit. Part of the appeal of the Tuli Elephant Trail:
you can basically tailor the route to suite your driving
skills.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE - Despite the opportunity for seriously tough off-roading, the Tuli Elephant Trail is not just a route for "Die Manne".
on the contrary, it makes for a great family outing,
offering a range of interesting distractions along the way.
The Tuli Elephant Trail passes directly through elephant
country, and you are almost guaranteed good sightings of
these magnificent beasts. Learn more about the people of the
Tuli Block - along the way you can stop in at some of the
local villages and learn a bit about the the interesting
culture of the Tswana tribes.
The trail also takes you past a number of striking
geological features, the most impressive of which must
certainly be Solomon's Wall, a 30 metre high wall of basalt
through which the Motloutse has carved a path on it's journey to the Limpopo.
This trail offers a challenge to the rookie and the most experienced off-roader.
CLOSER THAN YOU THINK - It's a fascinating and ancient part of the
country. a place of bushman paintings, historical ruins and
even dinosaur fossils; It's also a 4x4 enthusiasts paradise,
but surprisingly no formal trails have been established in
the area. Until now, that is.
