Wildlife & Animals in Northern Tuli Game Reserve

Northern Tuli Game Reserve offers great wildlife viewing. Big herds of elephant gather at the dry riverbeds, and there are good numbers of zebra, wildebeest and eland as well. Leopard are tracked daily and sightings are on a par with those in well-known Sabi Sand Game Reserve in South Africa. Wild dogs have been reintroduced and have settled in well.

Wildlife Highlights

Night drives are conducted daily, and several interesting nocturnal species can be spotted including aardvark, aardwolf, civet and African wild cat. More usual sightings are those of bush baby, genet and springhare. Night drives increase the chances of witnessing leopard, lion and spotted hyena hunting.

Best Time for Wildlife Viewing

Northern Tuli Game Reserve has seasonal wildlife viewing. The best time is during the drier months, from May to September, when water is scarce and animals gather to drink. At this time the vegetation is also thinner, which makes sightings easier.
