About Tau Game Lodge

Tau Game Lodge is situated in the 75 000ha, malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve. The 30 air-conditioned, thatched chalets, each with private verandah, overlook the waterhole and the mountainous landscape. The lodge offers an excellent game-viewing experience, including the Big Five, and is located just four hours from Johannesburg and 40 minutes from Gaborone (Botswana). Guests can relax at the swimming pool and enjoy sundowners in the heart of the reserve or on the bar deck, overlooking the water hole. Dinners are served under the stars in the fire-lit boma. Rejuvenating treatments are offered at the Spa Oasis, surrounded by the beauty of the African bush, while kids are entertained at the Tau Cubz Club. 5 Star Lodge | Children welcome | Wedding & conference venue
