GLM TEAM 
Autumn in the bush is a magical time, when the hues and landscape change to warmer colours before winter sets in. Yet, after the welcome recent late summer rains, deep shades of green continue to form a perfect backdrop for golden autumn at Tau Game Lodge.
Hot toddies and much conviviality abound on luxe, unpretentious safaris at Tau, always conducted by seasoned rangers with the safety of their guests in mind. After all, this is the place where the wild things roam free, and humans are mere visitors in this natural animal kingdom of Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa, bordering the wilds of Botswana.
This is also the time when the visibility of game enthralls visitors even more, as the animals are less inclined to seek shade after the summer heat has subsided.

For 30 years Tau has hosted visitors from around the world. Guest reports have mostly been along the lines of their having visited many safari lodges, some much more swish, but the welcoming team and comforting five-star hospitality, paired with sublime game viewing and a waterhole visible from every room and hospitality deck at the lodge, even from the two swimming pools, will beckon them to return to this eco-conscious paradise time and again.
Listening to the sounds of game trumpeting, roaring, tweeting, and barking their nocturnal supremacy, is pure safari bliss. This is Tau, the place of the lions.
The lodge remains family-friendly, offering a Cubz Club for youngsters. Memorable weddings have been hosted here over the years too, and it is reported many happy honeymooners have admitted to returning to Tau to celebrate love by conceiving their offspring.
