Tau Pan features 9 beautifully designed thatched units built on raised decks. Each unit includes an en-suite bathroom with an outdoor shower, a lounge area, a fan, an in-room safe, and a verandah offering views of the expansive pan. The family unit has the added convenience of an additional twin bedroom.
The camp's facilities include a swimming pool, open bar, lounge, and dining areas, all arranged around a cozy fireplace.
Activities at Tau Pan include game drives, day trips to well-known locations such as Deception Valley, Sunday, Piper, and Passarge Pans. Guests can also enjoy stargazing, bush brunches on Tau Pan, and guided nature walks with Bushman trackers.
Walking through Africa's wild areas is one of the most rewarding ways to connect with the natural environment. While game drives allow for more extensive animal sightings and closer observations from a safe distance, walking on foot offers a humbling and awe-inspiring perspective. It brings a new appreciation for the smaller details of the ecosystem—plants, insects, tracks, and signs—that are often overlooked from a vehicle. The interpretative skills of your guide will immerse you in a fascinating new world.
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve hosts a wealth of wildlife, including giraffes, elephants, white rhinos, Cape buffalo, hyenas, honey badgers, meerkats, yellow mongooses, warthogs, cheetahs, oryx, desert-adapted springbok, jackals, Red-crested Korhaan, and herds of wildebeest.
Tau Pan Camp is the perfect destination for solo adventurers, couples, and families seeking an authentic safari experience.

Lana has been exceptional
Lana has been exceptional! From the moment I contacted her she understood my needs as a traveler and put together a short but perfect itinerary. I will be contacting her again when I do the Tanzania trip next year

Excellent planning service
We’ve had a wonderful experience planning our Africa safari with Safari.com. Lana Goodwin has been incredibly patient and supportive throughout the process—answering our many questions, offering honest advice, and helping us craft the ideal itinerary for our family. We really appreciated Safari.com’s wide network of accommodation providers, which gave us the flexibility to “mix and match” based on our preferences and budget. Looking forward to our trip and grateful for the thoughtful planning behind it!

Thank you Lana Goodwin and Safari.com
Lana has been super helpful in addressing all our needs in timely manner. Due to her efforts, be believe we are going to have a great trip. Safari.com needs to get better exchange rate as well as lower the credit card payment fees. We were charged in excess of 3% plus bit higher exchange rate.
