Leroo La Tau - Why this is going to be a great safari destination.

Yesterday, 03 April 2008, two of our Reservations Consultants, Cindy and Nadia, from our Johannesburg office had the opportunity to accompany Bernie, our Operations Director, to Leroo La Tau on a routine visit to inspect the building of the new Leroo La Tau.

During their short visit, Bernie took them for a quick drive around the area near the lodge and this is what they saw:

Upon arrival at the lodge, they walked to the viweing deck and drinking at the waterhole in front of the lodge was this beautiful Giraffe.

They then drove down towards the Boteti River bed - this is a view from the River bed back up towards the lodge site:

A short drive from there and around the bend in the river, they came across two White Rhino:

About 100 meters away from these two Rhino, they encountered a pride of four Lions - a male, a female and two cubs. Heading back to the Lodge, as it was starting to get dark, they found another Male Lion on a kill:

All of the above encountered within a short period of time and this done without even seriously looking for game.

Feedback from Bernie and his team is that Leroo La Tau construction is well underway and the results thus far are very satisfying. As far as the building is concerned, all the main structures for the 12 chalets have been completed and most of the thatching and raised decks for the chalets are near completion. All the glass fronted, timber and thatched roofed chalets will look out over the Makgadikgadi National Park and raised on the high banks of the Boteti River.

The wooden decking in front of the main lodge building as well as the new viewing deck and sunken fireplace are also heading towards completion.

Leroo La Tau will soon be one of Botswana's greatest safari destinations!
