Welcome to Limpopo-Lipadi
Welcome to Limpopo-Lipadi, a shareholder-owned wildlife and wilderness Reserve located on the banks of the Limpopo River in the Tuli Block, Botswana.
The Reserve consists of 20,500 hectares of biodiverse landscape, with abundant natural flora and fauna, and includes 14 kilometres of river frontage. Over 300 species of birds and most of the iconic species of Southern African wildlife can be found here, including several endangered and threatened species such as elephant, leopard, southern white rhinoceros, African wild dog and brown hyena.
The co-owners of the Reserve represent a variety of backgrounds and nationalities, all of whom have come together to preserve this unique piece of the African bush. The principal elements of our effort include rewilding land which was formally a cattle farm through habitat restoration, species reintroduction, and a strict no-hunting policy.
Furthermore we understand the importance of involving the local communities in this effort through the creation of employment, as well as through health and education initiatives.
Finally Limpopo-Lipadi offers a unique visitor experience and the chance to establish a lasting connection to the African bush through visiting, investing, or donating.

Upside Down: That Hazardous Drinking Moment for Giraffe
The giraffe, abundantly present in Limpopo-Lipadi, is the tallest animal in the world and its silhouette is unmistakable: long and tapered legs, a massive body and a very long neck. Unfortunately, the giraffe’s legs are too long, or its neck is too short to reach the ground, depending on your point of view. Eating is not a problem because it feeds on leaves and twigs from the trees that only it, with its 5m height, can reach. But, bending over to drink is really complicated.
