TAU-NKWE SAFARIS ARE SITUATED IN THE BUSHVELD AREA OF THE WATERBERGE NEAR MAKOPANE  IN THE LIMPOPO PROVINCE OF THE REPUBLICK OF SOUTH-AFRICA,

 Tau-Nkwe Safaris is also your introduction to the true African bushveld in all its harshness and beauty. Here you step into a world where the lifestyle is in pace with the rhythm of nature. Everything  slows down and one becomes aware of ones own primitive needs. The hunting instinct comes alive and is able to follow its natural course : tracking, shooting and celebrating the hunt.

Your South African safari starts on arrival at Oliver Tambo International Airport, where your Outfitter/Professional Hunter will meet you and transport you to one of the lodges. From the time you arrive until the end of the your safari, your travel arrangements will be taken care of.
