Accommodation: Tau Pan Camp

Experience the Vastness of Central Kalahari

Tau Pan Camp is a distinguished destination for safari enthusiasts, embodying an exclusive vantage point within the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. The establishment is notable for being the first semi-permanent camp inside this reserve. Its location provides guests with a rare opportunity to experience the expansive desert environment in a manner that remains respectful to the natural order and the cultural heritage of the region.

Set against the sprawling backdrop of Botswana’s arid central plateau, Tau Pan Camp commands a unique position. Unlike accommodations outside the reserve’s boundaries, it provides guests with immediate access to the wild and undisturbed landscapes that characterise the Central Kalahari. This is a region where the panorama of the desert meets the sky on an endless horizon, a place where the silence is so profound that it has a presence.

At Tau Pan, the integration of Bushman knowledge stands out as a defining characteristic. The Camp’s skilled trackers, steeped in centuries-old traditions, offer insights into the delicate ecology of the Kalahari. Their expertise not only enhances the wildlife tracking experience but also provides a living link to Botswana’s ancestral wisdom.

The remoteness of Tau Pan Camp’s location is also a critical aspect of its appeal, lending to sightings of the iconic black-maned lions of the Kalahari. As one of Botswana’s most remote outposts, the camp offers a tranquil retreat far removed from the well-trodden tourist paths, allowing for an experience of profound solitude and connection with the wilderness.

Guest Rooms

Guest accommodations at Tau Pan Camp harmonize with the environment, promoting a sense of serene comfort amid the stark beauty of the Kalahari. The nine chalets, accessible via simple earthen paths, stand as discreet sanctuaries, offering expansive verandas with deck chairs perfect for contemplating the vast desert landscape. The chalets’ construction features thick walls and thatched roofs, providing a climate-controlled refuge reflective of traditional techniques adapted to modern comfort. Inside, the natural simplicity of the décor—encompassing airy spaces, oversized beds, and a sitting area—affords guests a tranquil retreat after a day under the African sun. Meanwhile, the en-suite facilities, complete with dual hand basins and indoor and outdoor showers, ensure the utmost convenience and relaxation.

Activities

At Tau Pan Camp, activities are crafted to elevate understanding of the Kalahari’s ecosystem. Guests can take nature walks with Bushman trackers, absorbing indigenous perspectives on the flora and fauna. The game drives, conducted in 4WD vehicles with a guide and tracker team, enhance the likelihood of diverse wildlife observations. As the camp is situated within a national park, the activities comply with conservation regulations, precluding off-road driving and night drives. Nevertheless, the excursions are comprehensive, with options for full-day trips to prominent pans like Deception Valley, enriching the safari experience.

The camp supports the Lady Khama Charitable Trust, a foundation with historical roots and wide-reaching philanthropic impact. Additionally, Kwando Safaris’ sponsorship of Mummy’s Angels exemplifies a commitment to grassroots efforts, directly aiding mothers and infants in need. This synergistic approach to giving back ensures that each stay at Tau Pan not only contributes to conservation but also to the socio-economic fabric of Botswana.
