Tau Pan Camp

Boasting stunning views across its namesake pan, the Tau Pan Camp is the first semi-permanent camp in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. It is positioned atop the ridge of an ancient sand dune and is named after the black-maned Kalahari lions that frequent the area. The Tau Pan Camp has been designed as a sustainable accommodation, with 100% of its power from solar. 

Daily game drives and trips to Deception Valley are a highlight of staying at the Tau Pan Camp, together with guided nature walks led by San Bushmen trackers. Delicious meals are served at the generously sized dining table, inviting you to share your experiences with other travelers. This luxurious Kalahari camp also boasts a glistening swimming pool, a well-stocked library and a breezy verandah for sundowners.

   •     Exceptional views across the Tau Pan and regular sightings of black-maned Kalahari lions
