Tau Game Lodge

Our family of four stayed in the family suite. We could not have asked for a more comfortable accommodation or better hospitality. Everyone we encountered was incredibly professional. Food was exceptional, we had dinner under the stars twice and the vegetarian in our group was always well cared for. Our ranger was outstanding, we never seemed to miss a moment.

The view from the rooms is fantastic. The rooms are a bit small for the winter; there is no seating for two people. Perfect in the summer because the terrace is absolutely top-notch. The staff is super friendly, the food is good, and the drives are phenomenal. Just a perfec place.

We had the most amazing stay at Tau Game Lodge during our honeymoon. Madikwe Game Reserve is a beautiful place with diverse nature and an abundance of different animals. The staff at Tau is super friendly, wants to help you with everything and were really attentive with extra special surprises for our honeymoon. The food was amazing, as a vegetarian I was super surprised by all the delicous food they prepared for me. The room was always super clean, at night they heated the room for us and in the morning they prepared the room for the day. Right in front of our patio we found loads of animals everyday. Our Game Drive guide was knowledgable and really enthusiastic to show us the game reserve and all the animals. Tau is definitely a very relaxing, not too busy and quiet place to stay.

This was my third visit to Tau Game Lodge, and it was a pleasure as always. It has one of the best locations in Madikwe Game Reserve, overlooking a huge natural waterhole where there’s a continuous movement of wildlife. The friendly staff took great care of us. Some even remembered us from previous visits.

A Family friendly luxury lodge with heat rangers and high class tours. Two pools, outdoor showers in each lodge and renovated bathrooms.

We simply loved every minute of our Tau Lodge adventure. Lazarus our ranger had such a special connection to the abundant wildlife. Location was special.

We had a wonderful time. The service and food was top quality. Our guide, Lazarus, went out of his way to find terrific animal sighting. Overall top notch experience

We were a family of 6 of all ages grandparents to children. We loved this lodge. The rooms were beautiful, clean and amazing views. Loved the outdoor showers. Food was delicious and plentiful. Our guide Tania was simply amazing she went out of her way to find as many animals as possible. Her knowledge led us to follow a lioness with blood on her chest back to her cubs eating their kill of a young zebra, we were so close! Another highlight was watching the 5 cheetah brothers, so incredibly beautiful. We enjoyed her company at dinner and had fun with her whilst learning a lot. It was all perfect but the main reason was the wonderful staff, so helpful and smiley, from the warm welcome to the waving goodbye. Perfect!

What a beautiful place to stay. The room overlooked a waterhole which made it perfect to see an array of animals even before going on safari. The rooms were well appointed, with an elevated deck, perfect for relaxing whilst watching the world go by. The staff were all excellent with strong attention to detail. The highlight of course were the safari drives. Herman our driver was very experienced and knowledgeable. He knew exactly where to go for the best viewings (even finding the African Wild Dogs). It was such a highlight. A perfect place to stay in Madikwe!
