Tau Pan Camp is situated inside the world famous Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) right on the edge of the beautiful Tau Pan. "Kalahari" is derived from the Tswana word Kgala meaning “great thirst” – and it has vast areas covered by red sand without any permanent water. The Kalahari Desert is the largest sand basin in the world stretching 2,500kms from the northern regions of South Africa through to Namibia/Angola and ending in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) The Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) is the largest game reserve in the world (52,800 sq km’s) and for many years was closed to the public, hence it is known for being one of Africa’s last true wild areas.


Situated on an established sand ridge overlooking Tau Pan the camp commands stunning views of the permanent Tau Pan water hole and the endless Kalahari horizon. Guests are accommodated in 8 custom-built desert tents under thatch, while the main area consists of dining room, lounge area and a viewing deck. The camp also offer facilities such as swimming pool, interpretation centre/library and curio shop.
