Tau Pan is the first semi-permanent camp inside the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and offers truly incredible views from the ridge of an ancient sand dune, an unusual experience in a land as flat as Botswana. It overlooks the famous Tau Pan, a large salt pan recognized for its stark beauty and remoteness. ‘Tau’ means lion in Setswana and the pan is so named for its pride of iconic black-maned Kalahari lions, who are frequent visitors to the camp as well.

WHY CHOOSE KWANDO TAU PAN CAMP?

• Two sets of eyes searching out the action, looking for tracks – this ensures a good chance of sightings, especially predators.
• The area is ecologically sensitive and as such we are not permitted to drive at night nor off road.
• The desert properties make a perfect contrast to the Okavango Delta and Northern Botswana regions, a great way to start or round off any trip.
