Tau is a well designed, quite modern lodge with plenty of space and decking on which to relax during the day. Each room has a balcony overlooking a long waterhole which is regularly visited by a large herd of elephants. Apart from these elephants, we were disappointed with the game that we saw on this visit (though Madikwe has since improved its stock considerably). The guiding was decent though, and the food was superb. Overall it was as good as many lodges that are twice the price!
