Tau Pan Camp

The central firepit area is where guests come together for meals and to watch extraordinary sunsets with a well-deserved sundowner in hand. And there's a telescope provided for the incredible stargazing that follows! From the lodge's expanse of elevated decking, the views are endless, and there's always the chance you'll spot game and birds from the the camp. In addition, there is a small swimming pool which is an essential diversion during the heat of the day.

Tau Pan Camp has just nine rooms, each tastefully furnished and built on a wooden deck and with a cool thatch roof. There is also a family suite to provide more space for those visiting with children. The rooms are light and spacious, with king-sized beds, en-suite bathrooms with twin hand basins and an outdoor shower, and a deck with comfy chairs from which to enjoy the gorgeous views of the surrounding pans.

Activities here include game drives with an expert guide and a tracker team who are renowned for finding cheetah. Birders will be delighted to learn that Central Kalahari Game Reserve has a reputation for being one of the best destinations for raptor spotting. Take nature walks with members of the San to learn about their lifestyle and ancient culture and, after dinner, enjoy the night sky with a guide who will interpret the network of stars above.
