To infinity and beyond. Well, not quite, but space is an enormous factor at Tuludi Camp. 200 000 hectares of it, here in the remote, pristine wilderness of the Khwai Private Reserve. Everything about Tuludi exudes space and serenity. It’s a fairy tale Okavango Delta safari. From its carefully considered positioning to make the most of a busy waterhole, to the seven thoughtfully appointed tented rooms set along a treeline of leafy leadwoods. This is a sophisticated, intimate Okavango escape.
Seasoned repeats come back because, as that intrepid African safari stalwart Pliny famously said, ex Tuludi semper aliquid novi. And here, there really is always something new. The game viewing from camp is super rewarding, so treat yourself to a rest day at your room. But before that there are floodplains and waterways to explore. Do the drives for the big-game picture, and gentler walking and mokoro outings to stop and smell the wild sage. Photograph the frogs.
A former hunting concession, the reserve’s situation between Chobe and the Moremi enjoys a parade of relaxed wildlife whose only predators now are the big cats and wild dogs. The truly gorgeous prey species include sable, roan and kudu. And in the end, Tuludi puts your money where their mouth is. Their operation is ecotourism in action, where the surrounding communities directly benefit from your stay.
