Tau Accommodation:
Tau’s accommodation consists of 30 comfortable thatched chalets, all with views over the surrounding area of game approaching the water hole. Each chalet ensures privacy with its own wooden viewing deck, en suite bathroom, open-air shower, and air-conditioning and ceiling fans. 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 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.
Couples travelling together or those with families may like to make use of the 2 corner units at either end of the lodge, consisting of 2 bedrooms linked by a shared lounge.
The main lodge is on two levels and consists of a lounge, bar, and dining area, all partially outdoors, and decorated with African artefacts. During the day you may like to relax next to the adjacent medium-sized swimming pool or in the privacy of your own chalet. Delicious breakfasts and lunches are served in the dining room, while the outdoor “boma” under the stars is usually the venue for dinner.
