Location: The Tuli Block, lying in the remote eastern corner of Botswana, borders Zimbabwe to the north and South Africa to the south.

The area comprises a diverse wilderness of savannah, riverine forests, and open plains and is home to an abundance of wildlife.

Large herds of elephant can usually be seen, while predators such as lion, leopard, cheetah, and hyena are attracted by the wildebeest, kudu, eland, and impala that migrate through the area. For bird-watchers, there are more than 350 species of birds in the area.
