Setting Description

Set in malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, Tau Game Lodge combines luxury with an unparalleled wilderness experience. The property is designed in a U-shape around a large natural waterhole, drawing frequent visits from elephants, buffalo, antelope, and birdlife. Guests can enjoy these wildlife encounters directly from their chalets, dining areas, or lounges, offering game viewing throughout the day without leaving the lodge. The greater reserve is home to the Big Five and diverse species, providing exceptional safari opportunities on daily morning and evening drives. Within the lodge, shared spaces include a restaurant, bar, spa, swimming pools, and viewing decks, ensuring a balance between adventure and relaxation. Families are particularly well catered for, with a children’s programme and supervised activities. The lodge’s setting offers a sense of seclusion while being easily accessible from Johannesburg, making it an ideal escape for both families and couples seeking a high-quality safari experience.
