TTau Spa in the Madikwe Game Reserve forms part of Tau Game Lodge, one of the well-established lodges in this Big 5 reserve. 

Tau sits on a flat piece of land with exquisite views of the bushveld and enormous African skies. 

Game viewing from the rooms and viewing decks at Tau is quite spectacular – that’s before you have even climbed onto a game vehicle to go Big 5 spotting in the bush. 

The facilities at Tau Spa are a wonderful bonus when staying at this luxury safari lodge. 

There are massage therapies to help get rid of the wear and tear caused by stress and demanding modern lifestyles. Therapists use the Africology range of products, which are formulated with the energetic essences of plants to help detox, restore and rejuvenate the skin and body. Radionics are used to enhance the natural properties of the lotions and creams used in therapies. 

They also offer hydrotherapy treatments and trained spa therapists are on hand to assist clients to create their own individualised spa experience. Enjoy a jacuzzi filled with bubble bath as you survey the African bushveld.
