Well maintained, quiet, and peaceful. There’s also lots of old charm. The staff, without exception, was great. The Last Word is especially excellent for viewing the animals because of a wildlife “hide” adjacent to a pond just past the perimeter of the property. The pond is an essential source of water for so many of the animals, especially given the lack of rainfall recently. There was a continual parade of wildlife, not just at dusk and dawn, but during broad daylight. The pond is also easily visible while eating any of the meals, which we all had outside.

Amazing experience. Very intimate small lodge with an authentic feel. Food was superb. Staff and service were wonderful. Twice daily game drives were incredible. Our ranger was very knowledgeable and worked hard to make sure we had the best experience and were lucky to see all the Mag 7 the park has to offer. You will not be disappointed!

Madikwe Hills was perfect. The quality of the food was very high - and they provided many options. Breakfast and lunch were delicious and dinner was next level. The quality of the house wine was good, and there were many, many options. The service was welcoming and exceptional, from start to finish. The Game drives were also good, and ranged from peaceful and educational, to downright thrilling. Trucks were comfortable, and ponchos and blankets provided as needed.

The staff and accommodations were excellent. Our bungalows overlooked the park and provided exceptional views. The meals were quite outstanding considering the location and accessibility. The wines were excellent and eating out on the patio in the evenings was just wonderful. The fact that this lodge is owned and managed by a nearby community made it all the better as we knew we were supporting a cooperative that supported its community.

    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!

    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.
