Entering the Valentine’s season is always special, but at Tau Game Lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve of South Africa, which borders the verdant wilds of Botswana, romance, friendship, life, luxury, nature, sustainability, and warm hospitality are always in season.
Conservation is key here, and you would not find multiple vehicles surrounding any of the wildlife, including the Big Five. Here, humans enter the kingdom of the animals in their native location, with respect.
Over the years, Tau has kept up with international hospitality trends and as an established five-star destination, all chalets have been renovated and updated. Known for its understated, comfortable, authentic out of Africa convivial ambience, the focus here is to create magical safari memories for visitors.
The recent chalet design updates have resulted in further positive feedback, both from new and return guests. All chalets reflect the same luxe style and elevated levels of comfort.
“Impressive place. The lodge is superb and the views from the room and the restaurant are sublime. You see all kinds of animals. Our (ranger) guide on our safaris was Jerry, who made it an amazing experience. He explains everything so well and you learn a lot about nature. If I ever returned to South Africa, I would certainly return to Tau Game Lodge, without a doubt.” (Translated from Google Reviews, by an executive recently visiting from Spain.)

“One of the more unique aspects of Tau Game Lodge is that the lodge overlooks a vast open plain with a huge waterhole right in the middle. As far as animal traffic, including the prolific birdlife, is concerned, this is one of the busiest waterholes in the Madikwe Game Reserve.” (Reported by travel professional Richard de la Ray in a recent release.)

For thirty years, Tau Game Lodge has been committed to offering warm hospitality, delicious cuisine, caring and respectful service, and a commitment to create a safer, better world for wildlife.
Tau remains family-friendly, whilst ensuring romantic couples are never compromised.
Fancy a romantic spa treat for two overlooking the verdant bush, enter the Tau Spa Oasis, where eco-friendly products produced from native plants will have you returning for further indulgences.
The Tau Conference Centre, complete with breakaway rooms for private discussions, is separate from the main lodge.
This is not a big resort-style lodge. It offers intimacy and game drives by dedicated rangers, passionate about the bush, its creatures, and the flora.
Both pools, one at the main hospitality deck, the other an infinity pool with a tented bar known for its delicious cocktails, overlook the magnificent waterhole.
Tau opened its 5-star safari doors in 1995 and offers 30 rooms, from newly updated Luxury Standard & Standard Chalets to Family Suites, for a malaria-free safari.
