Tau Pan Lodge

‘Tau’ which means lion in Setswana, is so named for the pride of iconic black-maned Kalahari lions who frequent the camp. The camp offers truly incredible views from the elevated ridge of an ancient sand dune, an unusual experience in a land as flat as Botswana, and overlooks the famous Tau Pan - recognised for its stark beauty and remoteness.

Luxury in the Kalahari

9 environmentally adapted en-suite tents including 1 family tent are set on raised decks, affording the same spectacular views over the plains. Each has an indoor and outdoor shower, double-basin vanity, open wardrobe, King-sized double bed, living area and writing desk.

Prime Location

The main area of the camp is set around the fireplace, which is the ideal spot for game viewing down to the waterhole. A telescope is also provided for guests’ use. The bar, lounge, curio shop and dining area all encircle the fireplace.

Experiencing the CKGR

Game drives are operated using a guide and tracker, this adds to the experience as you have two sets of eyes searching out the action, looking for tracks – this ensures a good chance of sightings, especially predators. In addition informative nature walks with our trackers who are all Bushmen from the Central Kalahari are also offered.
