By Plane Flight to Tau Pan Camp
3 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.

By Plane Flight to San Camp
3 nights San Camp, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans

San Camp combines an elegant and traditional safari style with minimal ecological impact (solar energy). A spectacular camp in a spectacular location with personal service and the only camp that offers truly fantastic views of the salt pans.

Seven classically styled white tents (4 twin, 2 double, 1 x family) with en-suite facilities sit at the edge of a salt pan on a grassy plain sprinkled with palm trees. The tents have a little verandah and are equipeed with sun loungers.

Three tents combine to form the main area, comprising a dining tent, library / lounge, and a yoga pavilion. Electricity is available in the main building only, not in the individual rooms.

Location
San 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.

San Camp is the only of the three Makgadikgadi Camps (San, Jack's, Camp Kalahari), with views of the salt pans.

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

By Plane Flight to Kwetsani Camp
3 nights Kwetsani Camp, Okavango Delta

Kwetsani is reminiscent of a large tree house. Its six comfortable rooms are each equipped with en-suite facilities, indoor and outdoor shower, and beautiful veranda built on the highest stilts in Botswana, offering spectacular views of the floodplain to the front of the camp.

The main building consists of a large, open room with bar, lounge and long dining table. A substantial deck stretches out from the main building and a wooden walkway leads from here to the pool.

Location
Kwetsani is located in the Jao Flats in the west of the Okavango Delta. The plain in front of the camp fills with water in March / April, which completely disappears again in October. Red lechwe frequent the area around the camp when the water level is high.

Kwetsani Camp is only accessible by light aircraft. Jao Airstrip is located approximately 60 minutes from the camp. If water levels are high, arriving guests are transferred directly from Jao Airstrip to Kwetsani by boat. A great introduction to the world of the Okavango Delta!

By Plane Flight to Savuti Camp
3 nights Savuti Camp, Okavango Linyanti

Suvati Camp's seven large tents are slightly raised on platforms built along the Savuti Channel. All rooms are equipped with a very spacious en-suite bathroom.

Location
Savuti Camp is situated along the Savuti Channel, north of the Okavango Delta and approximately 17 km from the Zibadianja Lagoon in Botswana's Linyanti region.
