The location is magical and the game drives were out of this world - you couldn’t ask for more. But actually what made the stay so special for us were the staff and the food, which were both world class. Worth every penny!

Loved everything about this place from the minute we arrived and were greeted by the manager himself, Tom-Hendrik. The styling & decor is stunning, the food is great quality and plentiful, the staff are efficient and so kind. We had Villem as our guide and he had such a good energy, knowledgable and easy to get along with. We stayed 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Arriving back to a roaring fireplace in our room after our evening game drive was magic. The boma night was also an absolute highlight, where everyone (guests & staff) came together under the night sky and enjoyed an abundance of delicious African dishes - incredible.

The staff were most accommodating and friendly. The food a delight - delicious and beautifully presented. Our ranger, Elliott so knowledgeable and he worked very hard to deliver the Big 5. The accommodation met all our expectations, loved the different towel detail on the beds every day! Weather was tricky but having our fireplaces on after a chilly evening game drive made it home away from home. The game vehicles are in good condition and the blankets on board very welcome. The wifi is very stable in rooms and in common areas.

I would like to thank the entire Last Word team for the unforgettable stay we had there. Everything was beyond excellent. I wouldn’t be able to make the word limit here if I wanted to list what we liked about our stay. Gold standard of hospitality - I’ll tell you that. For those who are interested mostly in the game drives - I can assure you Damien is the best in this business, simply unbelievable skill and knowledge of the subject - you are guaranteed to learn something new about the wildlife. Thank you a thousand times Team!!!!

Amazing game lodge, with an exceptional location and a very friendly staff. The game drives are exceptional. The presence of the water pond, right in front of the lodge is a big plus, since animals gather there in large numbers. Rooms are very confortable with a terrace facing the pond.
We’d been lucky enough to visit various lodges in Madikwe before, but were really impressed by every aspect of Tau Lodge. From its fabulous location - with all rooms and the dining deck overlooking a genuinely busy water hole - to exceptional staff and fine food, I couldn’t recommend this too highly. We will return!
Lodges right by the river, river was full due to the dam. Saw loads of animal by the water from our room like giraffes, elephants and lions.
Food was great!

The lodges are really nice, strategically located in front of a waterhole that attracts various species of animals. The staff was nice and helpful and the food was delicious. All the game drives have been incredibile, we've seen a lot of animals and different landscapes. A special thank you to our ranger James who is very passionate and knowledgeable about the reserve's wildlife and made every single drive an unforgettable experience. I higly recommend.
The only mistake we made was to have just 1 night at the lodge. The location is perfect, right in the game area. Guide Fortune is one of the best, he knows where and when to look for the best sightings!
The staff is the most friendly you will find and the food was delicious.
Will come back one day!
TLDR: if you like safari and are enthusiastic about the bush, this is the place to be!
Fantastic stay for our first Safari ever. Madikwe is very rich regarding wildlife and Tau Game Lodge offered a truly luxurious experience. Food was exceptional and staff was as friendly and as competent as it can be. In contrast to other lodges, Tau is situated right at the biggest water hole of Madikwe, so it is not just you heading to the animals during Your Game drives but the animals also come visit You during Your stay at the lodge. Be prepared to have an "Elephant in the (Hotel) room". Literally.
I have been to MANY safari lodges and this one is the best. The lodge is truly spectacular in every way and even has a new hide that allows you closely watch animals at the water hole; thrilling! The field guides are absolutely outstanding (these guys really make the difference between a good safari and a fabulous safari). Sean was the very best!! The website photos don't do it justice.
GO TO RHULANI
the place is awesome, the team is more than kind and helpful, the food is great.
the Madikwe Game reserve is exclusively accessible to guests from the few lodges located there and it's a safari heaven - rangers and trackers that drives the guests in the park are highly reliable.
