Nitani Private Game Reserve

Where is Nitani?

The greater Tuli region (which encompasses the Northern Tuli Game Reserve) is bordered by the Motloutse, the Shashe and Limpopo rivers in the northeastern corner of Botswana and the southwestern part of Zimbabwe. It is in the northern reaches of the Northern Tuli Game Reserve that one will find Nitani Game Reserve.

The region has a variety of landscapes... Riverine forests along the river banks and watercourses, sandstone outcrops, dolerite dykes (most notably, the renowned Solomon's Wall) and Mopane savanna.

Tuli is a semi-arid region, with rain falling in the summer months (November – March). Temperatures are very cold during winter (during early mornings and evenings – mid-day is more moderate and very pleasant), but start to escalate when spring begins in September.

The wildlife experience within the reserve is also vast. There are admirable populations of elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe and eland. In addition to the common plains animals (such as wildebeest and zebra), there are also monkeys and baboons, as well as steenbok, the duiker, grysbok, impala, common waterbuck, bushbuck, and warthog. Also present are aardvark, aardwolf, bat-eared fox, African wild cat, spotted hyena and black-backed jackal. And the bird-life is astounding, with more than 350 different species in abundance.
