Leroo La Tau

    Set on a rocky escarpment overlooking the Boteti River, this intimate lodge commands sweeping views across Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The river below acts as a lifeline in the dry season, drawing zebra and wildebeest in remarkable numbers, followed closely by predators. With just 12 thatched chalets, the mood is tranquil and considered, centred on a main area that opens onto a broad wooden deck and swimming pool facing the riverbed. Days unfold in open safari vehicles, while afternoons invite lounging with a drink above the plains as wildlife gathers below.

        Situated on the western boundary of Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, the lodge overlooks the Boteti River, a vital water source in an otherwise arid landscape. During the dry season, the river draws impressive concentrations of zebra and wildebeest, followed by lion and other predators. The surrounding terrain shifts between open grasslands and riverine woodland, creating varied habitats for wildlife. Its elevated position above the riverbed ensures wide, uninterrupted views across one of Botswana’s most distinctive ecosystems.

        How To Get There

        Approximately 40 minutes by light aircraft from Maun International Airport.
