Madikwe Game Reserve
Safari/Game Lodge
(28
rooms)
(5 customer reviews)
On the far northern border of South Africa lies a beautiful area known as the Great Marico and it is in this spectacular setting, in Malaria free Madikwe Game Reserve, that Tau Game Lodge is situated. The jumbled hillocks of Tshwene-Tshwene and the dramatic ridge of the Dwarsberg Mountains expose rocks of up to 2630 million years old and artefacts of the Stone and Iron Ages are still found in the Great Marico dust.
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 veranda 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. Thirty 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 ensuite bathroom and open-air shower. There are also inter-leading suites available - perfect for couple travelling together or for families. Come, and experience Africa with us at Tau Game Lodge.
