Is the Tau Game Lodge for Me?

Privately owned Tau Game Lodge is situated in the Big 5 Malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve.

Accessible by daily scheduled flights, or a 4 hour drive from Johannesburg.

The main body of the Lodge has an impressive reception hall, swimming pool and a comfortable upstairs lounge and bar and dining-room.

The 30 chalets at Tau are privately situated in pristine, indigenous gardens and embrace the spirit of Africa with modern luxury and unsurpassed vistas of the bush and the natural waterhole.

The state-of the art Tau Game Lodge Convention Centre, which is situated at walking distance from the lodge, can seat up to 150 delegates, while at the Tau Spa Oasis guests are offered rejuvenating spa treatments, surrounded by the beauty of the African Bush.

Families with children of all ages are welcome at Tau Game Lodge.

All of our younger visitors become automatic members of the Tau Cubz Club and are entertained with exciting activities.
