Tau Game Lodge

The lodge was designed to reflect the natural surroundings and makes use of the natural resources wherever possible. The main body of the Lodge is two-leveled and has a comfortable lounge, bar and dinning-room which are semi open-air and overlook the waterhole. The lodge is decorated with unusual African artifacts, masks and large rugs decorate the high-ceilinged foyer and vivid animal-print fabrics brighten the settees in the upside bar. Delicious buffet breakfasts and lunches are generally served in the main building or on the verandah next to the plunge pool and dinner is served in a cosy boma under the stars. The décor and furnishings are Africa-inspired and the rooms are equipped with both air-conditioning and ceiling fans. Thirty rustic thatched chalets are spread out in U-formation on either side of the lodge, offering excellent views of animals approaching the water from the opposite bank. Each chalet has its own wooden deck, which allows one to experience the bush in privacy and is equipped with an en-suite bathroom and open-air shower. Each of the two corner units, on either side (and furthest away from) the lodge, have been linked with the next-door unit by a communal outdoor lounge. These chalets can be utilised for two couples traveling together or for parents with small children sharing the room.
