however, are the crocodiles and an amazing pod of hippo which have survived in extremely adverse conditions for over 12 years.
The hugely contrasting seasons and terrain make this area of the Makgadikgadi a unique haven for large herds and predators alike.
The Boteti River last flowed in 1993, as a result of climate change and erratic weather cycles which caused the once crystal clear waters to dry up.

Leroo La Tau accommodates 24 guests in luxurious en-suite chalets, on individual raised wooden platforms.

The main lounge and dining room area with its inviting wooden and thatch finishes, offers guests the opportunity to sit back and relax at the bar while listening to the wide variety of night sounds so characteristic of the African bush. Alternatively you can lounge around the pool while appreciating the herds of zebra and wildebeest which are often seen around the lodge grounds and the waterhole.

Evenings can be spent alongside the fireplace which also overlooks the dry riverbed and the waterhole in front of the lodge.

The lodge offers both day and night drives. Generator power (AC 220V) is available during the day and evening. Video batteries can be re-charged. Chalets are equipped with a 220-volt AC plug for hairdryers, and torches are supplied for night use once the generator has been switched off.

History of Camp: HISTORY OF LEROO LA TAU
“Leroo-La-Tau” means the “footprints of the lion”. There is a reason why this name was chosen. Sean Watson, of African Secrets Safari Company, one of the original owners explains – “When we first built the campsite and lodge over the period of 9 months, 3 months in 1997 and the rest in 1998 we were plagued by lion almost on a nightly basis. They walked through camp, they roared at us when it was dark. There was a huge presence. But it took us over 7 months to see our first lion in the area. By this time we had selected the name and we went with Leroo-La-Tau because it was unusual, special and the word leroo has almost the same meaning as mathala but is reserved for predators.”

In September 2007, African Secrets Safari Company, announced that they have contracted Desert and Delta Safaris to take on the management and marketing of Leroo La Tau with immediate effect. This is consequent to an agreement that ownership of the lodge will pass to a new company jointly owned by the two entities. This will take place once all necessary documentation and permissions have been finalized. The African Secrets Safari Company is wholly citizen owned, and Desert and Delta Safaris is owned by Chobe Holdings, a public company listed on the Botswana Stock Exchange offering yet another 100% Botswana owned and operated lodge to our industry colleagues.
