Our Stay at Tau was absolutely amazing, The wonderful wildlife spectacle that took place at the water hole just meters from our chalets terrace and at the main building dinning deck was incredible. The drives were always a highlight with very professional and friendly rangers. The Lodge staff is incredible and gladly help with any needs. Overall ourselves and the other Family that were on the trip with us had a truly magical African bush experience .
