Tau Pan Camp sits atop a fossil dune overlooking its namesake pan, deep inside the vast Central Kalahari Game Reserve, one of the few permanent camps in an area defined by genuine remoteness and semi-arid wilderness.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Elevated thatched chalets with wide views over the pan below, furnished in a warm, natural style suited to the surrounding desert landscape.
Food & Service
Botswanan and international dishes served with pan views, often accompanied by evening conversation about the day’s Kalahari sightings.
Activities
Game drives across the reserve’s grasslands and pans, night drives for the Kalahari’s nocturnal specialists, and walks with San Bushmen guides.
Wildlife & Photography
The Central Kalahari supports black-maned lion, a large population of gemsbok and springbok, and, in good rains, significant migratory herds crossing its open pans.
A Photographer's Note
The dune-top position offers a rare elevated view over the flat Kalahari terrain, useful for wide landscape shots that capture the pan’s scale.
Conservation & Impact
Kwando’s Tau Pan operation supports San Bushmen community partnerships and research into the reserve’s black-maned lion population.
