The stay
A classic Madikwe lodge with room for different travel styles
Tau Game Lodge is a larger, established Madikwe option with a mix of standard chalets, upgraded rooms and dedicated family accommodation. Its waterhole setting gives the lodge an active safari feel even when guests are between drives.
A straightforward choice for mixed parties
The range of room categories makes Tau useful when a booking includes couples, families or a small group with different space requirements. It can also work well when the priority is a classic safari programme without needing an exclusive-use lodge.
