Tau Pan Camp: The Details

The CKGR boasts wildlife such as springbok, gemsbok and wildebeest in their thousands and is quite a sight to behold. Predators abound with plentiful Lions – especially the famous Kalahari black-maned Lion, Cheetah, Leopard and Jackals. Brown Hyenas and Wild Dogs are also found in the area. Several species of antelope make the trip to the sweet grasses of the CKGR including the Eland, Springbok, Steenbok, Gemsbok, Hartebeest, Kudu and Duiker. Honey Badgers are regular visitors as well as Ground Squirrels and many hours can be spent watching these fascinating animals. Bird life is aplenty with the world heaviest flying bird – the Kori Bustard being common as well as the Black Korhaan who continuously calls during the daytime. Ostrich are seen roaming free – usually in large flocks. All the Sand Grouse species identified in southern Africa live here from the Double Banded to the Namaqua. In the mornings the Sand Grouse flock to the waterholes in their thousands, to drink and bathe. Raptors, from the most common Pale-chanting Goshawk to the Rock Kestrel, Bateleurs and Brown-snake and Tawny Eagles are also seen regularly.

The camp is booked on a fully inclusive rate, with accommodation and all meals and drinks (excluding premium drinks, activities and laundry).
