Leroo La Tau

Leroo La Tau is perched on the banks of the seasonally flowing Boteti River, west of the well-known Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana. The region is famous for its large yearly migrations of zebra and wildebeest - thousands can be seen in the riverbed during the end of the dry season (September/October). The river itself has a fascinating and tumultuous history, drying up significantly in 1988 for two decades, affecting wildlife behaviour and prompting incredible adaptations like terrestrial dwelling crocodile building dens into the dry riverbanks. However, since a record high flood in 2009, the seasonal flow has been adequate and wildlife again congregate on the river, typically from May through October. The lodge is one of the few luxury options in the region - you'll feel utterly spoiled but also easily at home in this grand setting with warm, down-to-earth hospitality.
