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.

Sharing precious permanent waterways with Moremi Game Reserve, the elegant Kwara Camp overlooks a gorgeous lagoon in the game rich Kwara Private Concession and is well-known for consistent predator sightings.
Lion, cheetah, and leopard are often sighted, herds of elephants frequent the area, as well as giraffes, zebra, lechwe, impala and hippos. Explore this wealth of wildlife from the adult only Kwara Camp with nine bright and spacious suites. Each tent has a spacious deck, an en-suite bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers and a beautiful bath – all of which have views across the floodplains.
Kwara offers five activities all year, with no seasonal restrictions: walking safaris, offroad game drives morning, afternoon and night, motorboat and mokoro trips, plus seasonal fishing. The double-decker boat experience grants views across papyrus-lined channels to scan for birds and the shy sitatunga. The Godikwe Lagoon is a favourite seasonal highlight, which abounds with life during the heronry breeding season.
The communal area at the center of the camp consists of the dining area, lounge, and safari shop, with two swimming pool areas (with loungers and a small bar) at either end of the camp.
