Madikwe Game Reserve is run as a joint venture between the state, the private sector and local communities. The aim being, to wherever possible, involve the local community in wealth creation through tourism, skills and training and to involve the local communities directly in the benefits of wildlife tourism and the protection of the natural environment.
In line with this philosophy, Tau's owner Robert Gerard, set up the Tau Foundation to fund the community project and encouraged his overseas business visitors to contribute and make donations towards this non-profit organisation.
The Tau Foundation, driven by Tau's director Clifford Green, has implemented a number of impressive projects in the local Supingstad community which are delivering tangible results.
Guests visiting the lodge are offered the opportunity to visit the Supingstad schools, the local leather factory, some traditional historical sites or they can contribute to the soup kitchen which Tau arranges at the schools.
