Tuli Wilderness

Tuli Wilderness is set in the heart of the Eastern Botswana Tuli Game Reserve, along the shady flood plain of the Limpopo River.  Only six hours from Johannesburg, it’s an ideal place for a weekend retreat.

Owned and managed by Stuart and Julie Quinn, passionate conservationists, they have a wealth of experience in the Southern African tourism, hospitality and training industry.

Serolo Safari Camp is a small intimate, unfenced, tented camp only 600 metres from the river itself.  Set under the massive riverine trees, the setting is breath-taking.

Remote Rustic Luxury Accommodation at Mohave Bush Camp

This is a delightful unfenced, small private bush camp on the banks of the Mohave River.  The beauty of Mohave Bush Camp is the remoteness and the sense of being deep in the bush and surrounded by wildlife.

Lighting is provided by gas, paraffin and solar adding to the bush experience.  There is a 220v electrical point for recharging devices and phones. Cookers and freezers are gas operated and the showers are heated by solar geyser. Guests have sole use of the facilities for self -catering, assisted by camp attendants who will be on hand to service the rooms, tidy the camp and camp and ensure that there is a fire going at all times. 

Mohave Bush Camp is a great place or a group of family or friends. The camp is rented out to one group at a time, so guests have exclusive use of the whole camp for up to ten people.

Of the five rustic- luxury huts, two have ensuite bathrooms with showers and toilets while three units share two outdoor communal ablution blocks.  All have flush toilets and hot water showers.

The splash pool provides a welcome place to cool off after a game drive or walk with your dedicated guide and game viewer.

 A central lapa dining area with a fire pit, situated between the huts is a perfect place for evening bush chats while listening to the night sounds of the animals.

There is also the option for guests to upgrade to full catering should they wish, and this will include four delicious meals per day.

Step out of your tent and a short walk will bring you to the main dining lapa.  Here you can enjoy an early morning dip in the splash pool and a wonderful breakfast before you set off on your first game activity.

The covered outdoor lounge area and dinner tables add a touch of luxury to both camps.  

The team will ‘wow’ you with their elegantly served meals and beautifully set tables.  In the evening the lapa glows with the soft light of the many hurricane lamps and the glowing fire pit.

This is a great spot for sundowners as you watch the animals come to drink at the nearby waterhole.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
