Tau Pan, Central Kalahari

If you believe in treading lightly in sensitive areas, whilst seeing wildlife in its natural habitat, make Tau Pan part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Botswana.

At night you can drive deep into the bush to watch nocturnal creatures going about their daily activities. Hunting, feeding, mating and fleeing predators. Or you can lounge on the open deck of your thatched lodge, gazing up at the heavens and marvelling at the sheer volume and brightness of the stars, when there’s no light pollution to obscure your view.

During the day, you can photograph the fascinating creatures of the Central Kalahari on a choice of safaris. Between drives, simply soak up the sun and admire the horizon-wide panoramas. And all the time you can be sure that your safari is ecologically sound. The Tau Pan – the first semi-permanent camp to be built in Central Kalahari - uses solar power, recycling water systems and renewable materials throughout.
