Tau Game Lodge

Great safari lodge, amazing staff.

This was one of the best resorts I have ever stayed at. I highly recommend it.

Tau Game Lodge is a positive experience, but I do think things can be improved for the price of the booking. Its a perfect location for the Instagram fanatics and the social media hungry, so can be little frustrating when you just want to enjoy the experience and others just want to post it. James our guide was very good and accommodated our young son for him to experience the safari through a shorter trip, as the main safari trips are 3 hours twice per day. Children's facilities could be improved. Plastic play area in a safari reserve doesn't fit the image. The employees were very good and engaging with our son and I thank them for that as there were limited facilities for him during the long days. You can't really leave the complex. Swimming pools are too cold during the off season and could easily be heated through solar heating. You couldn't relax in the pool as it was so cold. Food is good, but not worth the cost of booking. It should be better and offer better alternatives, and charging for soft drinks is a bit of a farce. Safari is a positive experience and the water hole does allow you to see the animals without joining all the safari trips. Its a one time experience. I did enjoy seeing many guests decked out in their designer safari gear they will only wear once. Its sad that people can't just enjoy the experience instead of having to post the "show". I understand now why the complex doesn't link WIFI to the lodges.

Amazing stay at the Madikwe Reserve in the Tau lodge. Personnel was great, supportive and helpful. They made our baby moon an amazing trip to remember. I was 5 month pregnant and our ranger made sure to drive carefully during the game drives , always caring about my wellbeing. Food was delicious and fresh. The views in front of the water hole with the animals was another level of experience! So happy to have had our Safari experience there.
