SHALIMPO ~ The Jewel of Botswana's Safari Destinations - Northern Tuli Game Reserve - Limpopo/Shashe TFCA

OUR ACTIVITIES

At Shalimpo we strive to give our guests a well rounded experience of the area and all it has to offer in respect to game, birding, natural features and history, we offer a variety of safari activities all professionally guided which include sunrise and sunset game drives, safari walks, visits to the waterhole hides, outings to interesting sights and spectacular night drives.

The Shashe river on the east and the Limpopo on the south constitute our boundaries with Zimbabwe and South Africa respectively and provide the reserve with 18km of riverine woodland. This part of the Limpopo valley lies at an altitude of about 600 metres above sea level, and the Shashe river has a constant subterranean flow when not in flood. The result is some unique vegetation for this latitude similar to areas much closer to the equator, with some of the biggest tree species in the Southern African region.

At their confluence the rivers enclose two beautiful islands, also within the confines of the reserve. Shalimpo, as with its neighbouring Tuli Block properties, is unfenced and shares a common fauna and flora conservation policy with an abundance of game and bird species. A few of the unique attributes to explore at Shalimpo during your stay at Shalimpo include:

• The confluence of the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers.
• Some of the largest specimens of tree species, including Leadwood, Mashatu, Fever and Sycamore Fig trees, in the Southern African region.
• Two beautiful islands.
• The birder's "Big 6" - Pel's Fishing Owl, Saddlebilled Stork, Martial Eagle, Kori Bustard, Ground Hornbill and Lappet-faced Vulture; an outstanding birding area, especially during the summer months.

Our Activity Rates are based on a per person basis, in South African Rands and are subject to change. Please note that our activities are limited to a maximum of 8 guests, with children under the age of 12 years not permitted to take part in our Safari Walks; however children of all ages are welcome to take part in our Safari & Night Drives.
