Limpopo-Lipadi Game and Wilderness Reserve
Limpopo-Lipadi is situated in Botswana (Western Tuli-Block), one of the most economically, politically and socially stable democracies in the world.

Bordering the Limpopo River, this pristine wildlife and nature reserve is targeted at people not only passionate about the African bush, but who also want to be part of conservation efforts without necessarily having to deal with the day-to-day operational challenges facing game reserve owners. Co-owners all share the same vision to work towards sustainable conservation of the area to become a breeding basket for endangered species (rhinos, wild dogs, cheetahs, etc) in the Tuli_Block and beyond. They are welcome to participate in the decision-making process in the management of the Reserve (fauna & flora) and in the social responsibility program (MOTSE), if they so wish. Particular attention is also given to the preservation of cultural heritage and archaeological sites.

The land in the Tuli area is freehold (vs. 97% of Botswana being tribal land), making this one of the very few areas in Botswana where privately owned land is available for development as game reserves subject to Botswana Government approval. Of special significance in terms of this project is that Land Act and Ministerial approval and participation has been granted and the development has received the full support of the Botswana Government.

Eastward expansion is planned to join the future Greater Mapungubwe trans-frontier park (Botswana - Zimbabwe - South Africa) in order to eventually restore natural migration routes for our wildlife.
