The dramatic desert of legend and home of the San. Tau Pan Camp was the first lodging welcomed to the famous Central Kalahari Game Reserve and an unprecedented opportunity to establish camp in one of the world's largest pristine wildernesses. It occupies unrivalled placement high on a dune ridge, overlooking a waterhole and game-rich plains. The vistas are magnificent — vast skies, tremendous savannah — and the camp design takes every opportunity to exploit this location.
The main area includes an open bar, lounge and dining areas all set around the fireplace, which is the ideal spot for spotting game at the waterhole. '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.
Discover the land of the lion through ancient San eyes. Also known as the Bushmen in Botswana, indigenous trackers provide life-giving insights on surviving in this harsh paradise during a spellbinding nature walk. When you enter this world as a student, it ensures the conservation of their fast-vanishing San culture. Stargazing is astonishing in this remote location and best experienced with a night below the Milky Way on the sleepout deck.

Located on a beautiful island beside a hippo-filled lagoon in the Okavango Delta, Pom Pom is a long-established camp that offers a haven for several notable animal species. Big cats steal the show in the monthly sighting’s reports. Leopards love to loll about the towering trees while the grasslands remain spotted hyena strongholds, and African wild dogs hunt lechwe along the flooded shores. Wildlife is prolific.
Combine this great game with classic safari tents and a stunning lagoon setting; Pom Pom is the quintessential Okavango Delta camp and is ideal for the safari traditionalist. The camp has nine tented suites with sweeping views of the Okavango scenery and a swimming pool beside the main thatched building. Guests gather at the cosy bar, firepit, lounge and dining area for homely meals prepared by safari chefs.
Activities include off-road and night game drives, nature walks, seasonal mokoro excursions, motorboat safaris, and fishing. During the flood season, mokoro trips depart from the front of the camp. Gliding silently through the lagoon, you'll encounter abundant aquatic life, including Painted reed frogs, African jacanas, malachite kingfishers and more. Motorised boating safaris provide another, more exhilarating means of exploring the enchanting network of channels and lagoons.
