Leroo La Tau
Where the Desert Meets the River – Discover Botswana’s Untamed BeautyCentral Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana
Leroo La Tau is a striking luxury lodge set along the Boteti River on the western edge of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park in Botswana. Elevated on the river’s edge, it provides dramatic views over the watercourse that draws a vast array of wildlife, especially during the dry season. The lodge name means “Lion’s Paw” in Setswana, and it delivers a powerful safari experience, combining rugged wilderness with exclusive comfort. The dry desert surroundings contrast with the water-rich riverbanks, creating a dynamic ecosystem teeming with zebra, wildebeest, elephant, and predators like lions and leopards. Guests are treated to a mix of thrilling game drives and cultural village visits, creating a well-rounded and authentic Botswana safari.
The lodge is designed with understated elegance, featuring a central lounge, dining area, bar, and expansive deck overlooking the river. Evenings bring a magical atmosphere with al fresco dining and fireside storytelling under a starlit African sky. With access to both the national park and the cultural richness of the Khumaga village nearby, Leroo La Tau offers an immersive and personal experience that balances natural spectacle with community insight. It is especially renowned for viewing the annual zebra migration—Botswana’s largest terrestrial wildlife movement.
