About Tuli Lodge Airport
Tuli Lodge Airport, also known as Limpopo Valley Airfield, is a private airport serving Tuli Lodge and the Northern Tuli Game Reserve in eastern Botswana. It supports charter and private flights for guests travelling to safari lodges and game-viewing areas in this remote part of the country.
The airport sits close to the Pont Drift border crossing on the Limpopo River, which marks the local border between Botswana and South Africa. It has a single asphalt runway and one small terminal building, with limited facilities that reflect its role as a safari airstrip rather than a major commercial hub.
Because there is no public transport from the airport, most arrivals continue their journey using lodge vehicles or pre-arranged transfers to nearby camps and lodges. Road access is available from South Africa via Pont Drift, with Polokwane roughly 200 km away and Johannesburg about 500 km away.
