Tau Game Lodge

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.

The property was very clean and the staff was amazing from dining to our game drives. It was excellent.

Amazing, friendly, smiling, staff, beautiful accomodations, amazing views over waterhole right from the room and dining areas, amazing animals, life changing, unforgettable experience, Guide Thuso is a gem

Fantastic they are all so wonderful at the lodge. We had great rangers to show us the animals. A lifetime experience.

This was the best stay, wildly above and beyond my expectations which were already high. The entire staff was incredibly nice, professional and accommodating. Just to name a few, Morgan, Rosetta, Joyce, Rosetta, Poppy as GM, Lucia, Evelyn and Many, Many more including housekeeping and maintenance, were just top notch at what they do. Herman as a ranger was just so much fun, so professional and knowledgeable. You can tell the park cares so much about conservation while the lodge cares so much about hospitality. It was a blast. I can't recommend enough, and the moment I can I'd love to return. Can't thank the staff enough for making this an incredibly memorable trip for our family.

The game reserve, staff and guides were absolutely amazing. Will return for many years

Tau Game Lodge is an ideal location to explore the wildlife and the beauty of the African bushveld in South Africa’s North West Province.

Amazing. Silas was the best ranger. We saw all the big 5 and more. Exceeded my expectations.

Excellent service by all the staff

Great stay at Tau. The staff were friendly and attentive m, food was amazing!

Excellent game drives. Our game guide, Damian, had an impressive knowledge of the animals and he was very patient with our kids

The hotel is beautiful!!! The rangers are excellent and the Safris were amazing. The food isn’t good.

It was all just perfect. We all left completely relaxed.

We really loved our stay in this hotel, as soon as we walked in, we saw lots of elephants and entelopes drinking from the waterhole which is next to the hotel, it was jaw dropping experience. We loved our reice a day fame drives too and were able to see all big 5. Were able to drive to animals really close. Food was also amazing and changed frequently

Tau game lodge was an experience of a lifetime. The staff was so nice & accommodating. I highly recommend this property. Our assigned ranger Derek was extremely knowledgeable, kind and professional.

Lots of animals to see from your room and common area. Clean, friendly staff. The rangers who take you out on safaris are quite knowledgeable.

Very nice stay. Babysitting service a great help.

We stayed at 4 different lodges in the Madikwe and Pilanesberg parks. This was by far the best lodge, with the best views, the best safari guides, excellent food, wine, spa, and overall lodge comfort. We will definitely be back. If you can, ask for Mike Rae to by your safari guide. You will not be disappointed..

Excellent location of the game lodge. Fantastic game drives, were very well taken care of by our ranger Dylan who was expert at everything.The chef made extra effort to cook some veg recipes.Very friendly and polite staff.Will surely visit again.

Excellent property. This was our second stay. We saw so many lions and cheetah thanks to our guide, Ignatius. We will return.
