Leroo La Tau is situated on the western bank of the Boteti River some 140 kilometres south east of Maun. The river’s eastern bank forms the boundary of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The Park stretches away from the banks of the Boteti River, through its interior of scrubland and grasslands. The western boundary supports mineral rich grass lands, which, along with the River supplies the much needed sustenance for the herds which inhabit the park.
Accommodation is in 12 beautifully appointed thatched, glass fronted chalets, each with en-suite bathrooms. The chalets are on raised platforms overlooking the seasonal River.
As Leroo La Tau is built on cliffs over 10 metres high, guests can enjoy an extensive vista. The main reception and lounge area is also located on top of these cliffs; this raised vantage point ensures unsurpassed views of the river and the Makgadikgadi to the east.
Alternatively guests can lounge around the pool or enjoy the river view vistas from the game viewing hide built into the bank of the Boteti.
Game activities include both guided day and night drives. When the water levels of the Boteti River allow, boat activities are also on offer. You can also enjoy optional cultural excursions to Khumaga Village. In addition, guided nature walks in the area surrounding the lodge can also be arranged. (Please note: due to their distant location in the park, the physical
Makgadikgadi Pans are not visited on daily scheduled activities from Leroo La Tau).
After the start of the rainy season (generally November to March), this desert area teems with wildlife as herds of zebra and wildebeest feast on the green grassland plains of the Makgadikgadi. It is also during this season that there is an influx of migratory bird species, while resident desert species compete by showing off their breeding plumage.
Leroo La Tau also boasts Chobe bushbuck, leopard, cheetah, brown and spotted hyena, impala, kudu, jackal, porcupine, genet and caracal, to name but a few. In addition, there is also the possibility of seeing the rare white rhinoceros.
Regrettably, no children under 12 years are accepted.
