Shalimpo Safari Home

Overview

Tucked away in the eastern corner of the Northern Tuli Game Reserve lies Shalimpo Safari Home.

Perched atop a kopjie, this unique home is a harmonious convergence of the Shashe and Limpopo Rivers, weaving together Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. From its vantage point, Shalimpo commands breathtaking views that extend across the landscape.

The self-catering home welcomes up to 8 guests. Four bedrooms offer comfort, with two en-suite and two sharing a bathroom. An open-plan indoor dining room and lounge lead to a covered patio, inviting leisurely moments of reading, laughter, and board games.

An open-air braai and boma area make for casual dining or stargazing in the evenings. The large farm-style kitchen can be used for self-catering and all supplies of food and drink can be pre-ordered and delivered just ahead of your arrival.

A small plunge pool is perfectly situated in the garden. One game viewing vehicle and guide are provided to safely take you around the Reserve on morning and afternoon game drives; with enchanting bird life and once in a lifetime wildlife sightings.

Shalimpo’s charm lies in its remote authenticity, free from electricity, powered solely by solar energy and lanterns. Our attentive on-site team ensure the home is kept clean during your stay.
