Tau, meaning the place of the lion, continues to live up to its native origins in the eco-friendly Madikwe Reserve of South Africa, which borders Botswana.
The Tau rangers offer a heartfelt passion for the bush, its diverse creatures, and the healing powers of the indigenous flora.
Get involved with the tracking of the magnificent Mahiwa male lions, who cut a dashing sight in the savannah. Or perhaps cheetah is your preferred big cat. No, you’d prefer to see the often illusive leopard? This is where the big cat action is in perpetual motion for an unforgettable safari…
Just over an easy four-hour drive from the bustling cities of Pretoria and Johannesburg, Tau Game Lodge offers understated five-star luxe accommodation, wholesome cuisine, a bijou spa overlooking the bush, and vistas of game, from the Big Five to the smallest creatures as well as magical birdlife at the waterhole, which is surrounded by the lodge.
It’s happy hour at the Tau waterhole 24/7, from elephants and predatorial cats causing trouble to reflect the pecking order of the wild, to those crafty crocodiles, seemingly lazy but never too dozy to spot a dining opportunity.
This is also a magical time in the bush, when hot toddies, and much conviviality abound on safari drives and in the snug hospitatliy areas of the lodge.

Tau is family-friendly, offering a Cubz Club, baby-sitting services, and special safaris and education for youngsters, affording the adults some quality safari and spa time.
For 28 years Tau Game Lodge has hosted visitors from around the world. Guest reports have always been along the lines of their having visited many safari lodges, some very swish, but the welcoming team and comforting hospitality, paired with sublime game viewing and a waterhole visible from every room, swimming pool, and hospitality deck, will beckon them to return time and again.
The lodge is enclosed within the reserve, resulting in the humans being subtly fenced in, while game roam free.
Winter 2023 rates start from R5,810 per person per night, including 3 meals daily and 2 safaris daily.
