Why Stay at Tau Game Lodge
Nestled in the heart of the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, Tau Game Lodge offers a luxurious escape in the wild, with stunning views over a natural waterhole that attracts a constant stream of wildlife.

Located in the Groot Marico region on South Africa’s northern border, Madikwe is the country’s fourth-largest game reserve, covering 75,000 hectares of diverse bushveld. The reserve is home to the Big Five, wild dogs, cheetah, and over 250 bird species — making for unforgettable year-round game viewing.

Built in 1995, Tau Game Lodge features 30 luxury chalets, each with a private deck, air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and open-air showers. All chalets overlook the waterhole, offering prime wildlife sightings right from your room.
