"Tau was wonderful"
The bushman walk was great -- I did it twice" See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa
"Tau Pan stay"
We went for a full day trip, which ended up to be very long and very hot. In retrospect, it would have been a wiser choice to go for the regular morning and evening drives." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana
"Tau Pan Camp review"

"Tau Pan Camp review"
We were told "Cry of the Kalahari" was not completely accurate, however, it was fascinating to read after being there and being in Deception Valley.
The wildlife was interesting and to learn how they cope with little water.
Fascinating end to our Botswana experience." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana
"Very enjoyable, but food was lacking"
"A great welcome to botswana"
Having been to other Kwara camps, it seems that the welcoming feel is a hallmark of the company. We can't say enough good things about tau pan." See all these reviews: 5n in Botswana
"16 lions in 2 days"
We were made to feel very welcome. Helped by a knowledgeable guide, Vasco, and the eyes of a very good tracker, Custom, we saw a surprisingly large quantity of game in just a couple of days, including 16 lions, a leopard and an elusive aardwolf. They respected the fact that we enjoy spotting birds as much as we do larger game.
The water hole in front of the lodge is a magnet for competing lions. We loved the scenery and quiet of the off-season Kalahari and the simplicity of the camp and could have stayed longer. A terrific start to the holiday." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Tau Pan Camp review"
We stayed for 2 nights and felt that this length of stay was perfect. We went on all the game drives and also on the 'bushman' walk which was excellent. In summary a fabulous first stop and one we would thoroughly recommend." See all these reviews: 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia
