Capture of the Kalahari

 In stark contrast to the verdant wetlands of the Okavango Delta, Kwando Tau Pan in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve presents an unparalleled opportunity to encounter the unspoiled wildness of isolated Botswana.  One may anticipate the Kalahari Desert to be desolate and lifeless; nonetheless, one should be ready to be contradicted in this remarkable ecosystem brimming with vitality.

 Situated on the crest of an ancient sand dune, the camp provides exceptional vistas of the renowned Tau Pan and the adjacent watering hole—an unusual experience in the predominantly flat terrain of Botswana.  Explore the illustrious Deception Valley, Sunday, Piper, and Passage Pans on guided day excursions and wildlife drives, and partake in a bush breakfast or starlight experience.

Within this striking landscape are nine thatched en-suite tents, including one family tent, situated on elevated decks, designed with consideration for the local environment.  Solar energy is utilized to provide electricity, hot water, and pumped water from beneath the Kalahari sands, which, after usage, is meticulously processed and returned, purified, to its source in the dunes.  Gaze across the infinite Kalahari horizon from the plunge pool, and make certain to explore the curio shop.
