Koro Island Camp
Game drives , walks, cycling ( ebikes on request)
The beautiful rugged remoteness and wild bushland of the Tuli, totally different to northern Botswana, is a big game area.
Game drives (as well as night drives) are conducted in specially modified Toyota Landcruiser.
Walks and big game tracking on foot are an essential part of our safari fare.
Remote springs away from the river may offer ideal stalking opportunities.
Game viewing hides offer sweeping views of the Tuli.
Game viewing here is rich and varied with a unique take on specially adapted inhabitants such as bat-eared fox and perhaps the most endangered carnivore in Botswana, the elusive brown hyena , aardvark and leopard.

Koro Wildlife Research
A PhD level field study, focussing on the ecology of leopards and hyenas of the Tuli is underway. This includes the highly endangered Kalahari icon, the brown hyena. We invite our guests to participate in monitoring activities and field observations with our head of research in Tuli, Sander Vissia who is completing a PhD at Wageningen University in Holland.
The research carried out on our Tuli private concession is unique in the fact that it is conducted in a dynamic, forever changing and carnivore rich open system. With an abundance of resident leopard, spotted hyena and brown hyena, returning lions from Northern Tuli Game Reserve and adjacent South Africa and cross-border nomadic packs of wild dogs it is an exciting area.
Bushman rock art excursions
Go back in time over 500 years with a half-day excursion to a recently discovered old Bushman settlement with paintings and sacred sites. An extended game drive through the Tuli takes us to the small village of Mothlhabaneng, and a stunning sandstone amphitheatre on the Moutlotse River with numerous beautiful galleries of elephant, giraffe, sable, wild dog and aardvark paintings. The quality of these paintings rivals any area in Africa. The Africa Experience supports the local community in developing the site as a heritage and tourism place of interes
