In-Depth Information
You'll need your own vehicle to reach the Tuli Block. Once there, most roads in the
Tuli Block are negotiable by 2WD, though it can get rough in places over creek beds,
which occasionally flood during the rainy season.
ELEPHANT SANDS
Some 52km north of Nata on the Nata-Kasane road, 2km down a sand road,
Elephant Sands
( 7353 6473;
www.elephantsands.com
; campsites per person P60, s/d/f chalets P300/540/650)
has simple thatch-roofed chalets
and campsites that could do with a little more shade. Elephant sightings are almost guaranteed at the waterhole, and
lions, jackals and a full suite of herbivores is possible on the game drives (P190) and bushwalks (P130).
Until it has been upgraded, avoid the deeply corrugated gravel road that runs north and
roughly parallel to the South African border from Sherwood and the Martin's Drift; far
better if you're coming from South Africa to approach via the border posts of Platjan or
Pont Drift. From elsewhere in Botswana, the lodges can be accessed from the west via the
sealed road from Bobonong.
