By Plane Flight to Tau Pan Camp
2 nights Tau Pan Camp, Central Kalahari

Tau Pan Camp is situated in one of the most beautiful places in the Kalahari and has a magnificent view over the plains of the Tau Pan. The nine rooms (one of which is a family room) are elevated on platforms and have a thatched roof that extends far towards the front and protects the terrace from rain and sunshine. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms with double lavabo, WC and an additional outdoor shower.

At the central main building there is a small library, a souvenir shop, a restaurant with a large outdoor terrace and, in a separate building, a plunge pool with sun loungers. At the eastern end of the camp, a sleep-out platform offers the guest the opportunity to spend the night under the stars. For stays of 3 nights or more, a sleep-out can be pre-booked free of charge. The nights in the Kalahari are often incredibly clear with minimal light pollution.

Location
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is located in the heart of Botswana. Covering an area of 5 million hectares, it is the largest game reserve in Botswana and one of the largest in the world.

Tau Pan Camp is situated on a ridge on the edge of Tau Pan. The Tau Pan is a beautiful open grass plain in the middle of the Kalahari and a magnet for many animals, especially lions.

The flight from Maun to Tau Pan Airstrip takes about one hour. The drive from the airstrip to the camp takes about 15 minutes.

By Plane Flight to Jack's Camp
2 nights Jack's Camp, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans

The iconic Jack's Camp has undergone a full rebuilt in 2021 and now boasts nine very large canvas tents (7 twin, 2 double, each 135 sq metres indoors and 135 sq metres outdoors). Each guest tent is equipped with en-suite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers, an overhead bed cooling system for hot days and a private plunge pool on the veranda. The style of the camp has remained the same, in keeping with the desert environment - a sort of Bedouin chic mixed with the colonial style of the 1940s. A collection of tasteful and also antique decoration artifacts complete the picture.

A really impressive swimming pool pavillon, the larger mess tent and the elegant Persian tea tent remain and invite guests to linger and indulge. In addition, a library with an interesting selection of books, antique pool table and a well-stocked drinks chest make your time in between safaris even more delightful and relaxing.

Electricity is available 24 hours both in the rooms and in the main area. There is no wifi in the rooms, only at the curio shop.

Location
Jack's Camp is located on the edge of the vast and strikingly beautiful Makgadikgadi Pans. The salt pans are the relics of a prehistoric mega-lake that once covered half of Botswana. There is nothing but horizon as far as can be seen, providing an unaccustomed rest for the eyes.

Jack's Camp is situated in a private concession bordering the Makgadikgadi National Park. You may also like neighbouring sister camps San Camp and Camp Kalahari.

By Plane Flight to Kwetsani Camp
