The Tau Game Lodge is a luxury safari lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve with 30 rustic chalets that allow visitors to relax and enjoy the beauty of the bush. Privately owned Tau Game Lodge was built in 1995 and overlooks a vast natural waterhole, which attracts a variety of game, as does the diverse vegetation which thrives in the fertile topsoil. The lodge was designed to reflect the natural surroundings and makes use of the natural resources wherever possible.

The main body of the Lodge is two-leveled and has a comfortable lounge, conference facilities, bar and dining-room which are semi open-air and overlook the waterhole.

The lodge is decorated with unusual African artefacts, masks and large rugs are decorating the high-ceilinged foyer and vivid animal-print fabrics brighten the settees in the upside bar. Delicious buffet breakfasts and lunches are generally served in the main building or on the verandah next to the plunge pool and dinner is served in a cosy boma under the stars.

The décor and furnishings are Africa-inspired and the rooms are equipped with both air-conditioning and ceiling fans. The 30 rustic thatched chalets are spread out in U-formation on either side of the lodge, offering excellent views of animals approaching the water from the opposite bank.

Each chalet has its own wooden deck, which allows one to experience the bush in privacy and is equipped with an en-suite bathroom and open-air shower. There are also inter-leading suites available - perfect for couples travelling together or for families.
