Leroo La Tau, meaning lion spoor, is a small safari lodge in Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, on the edge of the Central Kalahari.

Leroo La Tau has 12 en suite thatched and glass-fronted chalets on wooden platforms along a small cliff with an endless view over the Makgadikgadi plains and overlooking the Boteti River.

A classic Botswana safari lodge with a large central living area on wooden deck supporting massive tree-trunk pillars and a thick head of thatch to keep the interior cool by day and warm by night (with the assistance of the cozy fire).

The rooms are spacious, immaculate and offer a bush view from your bed or your private deck. There's no air-conditioning in the room, but you do have a fan and if you slide open the glass doors you invite the breeze and the endless landscape right in.

If you're here during migration time of the year (starting from December through to March), you are perfectly located to witness herds of up to 20,000 zebra on the move. In addition vast flocks of flamingo and large herds of springbok and wildebeest, followed closely by predators, makes for spectacular game viewing in this wet season.
