Arrive in Botswana & Transfer to Central Kalahari Game Reserve

You'll arrive into Botswana at Maun Airport and then take a short domestic flight to the Tau Pan Airstrip. Tau Pan Lodge is the first semi-permanent camp inside the Central Kalahari Game Reserve and offers truly incredible views from the elevated ridge of an ancient sand dune (an unusual experience in a land as flat as Botswana). It overlooks the famous Tau Pan, recognised for its stark beauty and remoteness.

Activities offered at Tau Pan include game drives, day trips to the well-known Deception Valley, Sunday, Piper and Passarge Pans, stargazing and nature walks with Bushman trackers. Species that can be found in the Kalahari include oryx, the desert-adapted springbok, jackal, the rare brown hyena, red-crested korhaan and herds of wildebeest.

Main Destination:
Central Kalahari Game Reserve
Best Time To Visit December to March (Best in Deception Valley)

Lions, antelopes and hippos inhabit the woods and lagoons around Linyanti Marsh; the floodable grasslands of the Savuti Marsh attract numerous bird species and migrating zebras.
