Where Luxury Meets Wild Botswana



Perched majestically on cliffs overlooking the meandering Boteti River, Leroo La Tau is more than just a luxury safari lodge – it's a gateway to one of Africa's most spectacular wilderness experiences. As someone who's experienced the world's finest accommodations, I can confidently say that this hidden gem in Botswana's Makgadikgadi Pans National Park redefines luxury safari living.


Exclusive Accommodations That Take Your Breath Away


Imagine waking up in one of just twelve glass-fronted suites, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame nature's most magnificent canvas. Each thatched haven, elevated on wooden platforms, offers a private viewing deck where you can sip your morning coffee while watching elephants amble to the river below. The attention to detail in these spacious sanctuaries perfectly balances authentic African charm with contemporary luxury.


Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters


What sets Leroo La Tau apart is its front-row seat to one of nature's most spectacular shows – the second-largest zebra migration in Africa. From May to October, thousands of zebras paint the landscape in mesmerising stripes as they gather along the Boteti River. During my stay, I witnessed prides of lions, herds of elephants, and elusive leopards, all from the comfort of the lodge's expansive viewing deck.


Culinary Excellence Under African Skies


The dining experience at Leroo La Tau is nothing short of extraordinary. Whether it's a gourmet breakfast on your private deck, a surprise bush lunch in the wilderness, or a candlelit dinner under the stars in the traditional boma, each meal is a celebration of flavours. The lodge's excellent selection of wines and spirits perfectly complements the innovative cuisine.


Luxurious Touches


The infinity pool, seemingly suspended between earth and sky, offers the perfect respite during sunny afternoons. The main lodge area, with its sophisticated lounge, well-stocked bar, and curio shop, creates an atmosphere of refined elegance while maintaining an intimate, home-away-from-home feel.


Sustainable Luxury at Its Finest


What truly captured my heart was Leroo La Tau's commitment to responsible luxury. As part of the prestigious Desert & Delta Safaris portfolio, the lodge seamlessly integrates eco-friendly practices with high-end hospitality. From solar energy initiatives to community partnerships, every aspect of your stay contributes to preserving this pristine wilderness.


Exclusive Experiences


The game drives here are intimate affairs, led by passionate guides who know every corner of this wild paradise. For the ultimate luxury experience, opt for a private safari, where you can customize your wildlife viewing schedule. The boating safaris (water levels permitting) offer a unique perspective of the river's ecosystem.


The Verdict


Leroo La Tau isn't just a destination; it's an experience that will forever change how you view luxury travel. It's where untamed wilderness meets unparalleled comfort, where every sunset feels like a private show, and where the rhythm of wild Africa becomes your own. For discerning travelers seeking an authentic yet luxurious safari experience, this is quite simply as good as it gets.

From the moment you arrive until your reluctant departure, Leroo La Tau offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, adventure, and conservation. It's a place where the harsh beauty of the Botswana wilderness meets world-class hospitality, creating memories that will last a lifetime. For those seeking the pinnacle of safari experiences, Leroo La Tau is an absolute must-visit destination.
