Discover the Diverse Wildlife of Southern Africa
Located on the northernmost edge of South Africa, Tau Game Lodge is an epitome of luxury set within the sprawling, malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve—the country’s 4th largest. This sanctuary is a haven for 27 major wildlife species, making it an unparalleled destination for Big 5 safari adventures and extraordinary bird-watching experiences.
Conveniently situated in the North West Province, Tau Game Lodge has the capacity to host up to 60 guests. It not only offers an enthralling safari experience but also serves as a versatile venue for conferences and picture-perfect weddings, all set against the backdrop of a mesmerising natural waterhole.

Our newly-introduced infinity pool, situated near the Game Viewing Lounge, provides a panoramic view of the diverse fauna—from the magnificent Big 5 to delicate antelope and abundant bird species. For those who prefer a more laid-back experience, our inviting plunge pool at the main lodge area offers a relaxed atmosphere, complete with refreshing beverages and awe-inspiring views of the waterhole.
