Tuli Safari Lodge:

"Dear Friends, Just a short note to let you all know that Platjan border closed at around midday today when the Limpopo River started running over the low lying bridge, once again. Pont Drift border remains closed to vehicle and cable car crossings ... there is a boat which operates, however as of this afternoon the boat is not running. The best point of access into or out of Botswana is via Martins Drift. We'll keep you all posted!"
