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.

Slow down and smell the wild sage at Moremi Crossing Camp. Whether stealthily tracking wildlife on foot or silently moving through the Okavango Delta's waterways on a mokoro, time slows down in the Gunn's Private Concession. With its location across from the famous Chief's Island, this traditional walking and water-based camp now offers game drives. Moremi Crossing is also an excellent option for big groups.
Seasonal game drives provide front-row seats to the wildlife, but with an abundance of postcard-perfect lagoons and floodplains, nature walks, and water-based explorations are the Moremi Crossing forte. Stretch your legs on a guided nature walk that transforms your safari into a sensory experience. You'll learn to track, understand medicinal plant uses and so much more by roaming between lofty termite mounds to gain perspective over the landscape (much like a cheetah). You can also go on an immersive camping experience overnight in the wild for an extra dose of adventure.
Fitting seamlessly into the island's riverine forest of magnificent palms and ancient trees with views of the Boro River, Moremi Crossing is sociable with a simple, back-to-basics approach. Accommodation consists of 16 en suite and spacious tents on raised decks, each with a veranda. These include a Family Tent and a Honeymoon Tent.

Lagoon Camp sits gracefully on the shaded banks of the Kwando River, nestled among towering ebony and marula trees. This densely forested site hosts a diverse range of birds and mammals. Such breathtaking scenery and close proximity to wildlife create a serene camp atmosphere. With a well-earned reputation for big game, this area is renowned for its seasonal large herds of elephants and buffalo. In the winter, herds of up to a thousand are commonplace, and the riverbank is a popular spot for large numbers of elephants to gather in full view of the main camp deck.
This remarkable concentration of game attracts the attention of large predators, such as the Lagoon African wild dog pack that frequently dens close to camp. The camp boasts nine spacious tents with private decks, a living area, and a river-facing bathroom. All tents have indoor and outdoor showers; one includes an additional twin room for family use.
The main thatched areas of the camp feature a bar and lounge, dining area, safari shop, and a second-level library overlooking the Kwando River. Guests can swim in the river-facing swimming pool, relax on the outdoor deck swing, or indulge in an afternoon boat cruise, and seasonal fishing is also available.
