Kwando Tau Pan Camp, Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Botswana

A Luxury Tented Camp in Botswana

Camp Details

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.

The main area of the camp includes open bar, lounge and dining areas all set around the fireplace, which is the ideal spot for game viewing down to the waterhole. Star-gazing is also popular here and a telescope is provided for guests’ use. The main camp and rooms are thatched to help maintain a comfortable temperature year round. The family unit has an additional twin bedroom and all nine units have indoor and outdoor showers, spacious lounge area and deck offering spectacular views of the plains and broad Kalahari horizon.

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.
