Tau Pan Camp (Central Kalahari)
Creating seamless travel in Africa since 2004
A Central Kalahari Honeymoon offers a unique and unforgettable experience. Especially for couples seeking a remote, authentic, and intimate safari adventure.
Here’s a breakdown of why it’s a great choice for a honeymoon:
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve is one of the most remote and least visited reserves in Southern Africa. Its immense size; the second largest wildlife reserve in the world; means you’ll often feel like you have the entire wilderness to yourselves. This seclusion is perfect for a romantic getaway. Allowing honeymooners to truly disconnect from the world and focus on each other.
While the Central Kalahari is not a typical “Big Five” destination, it offers a distinct and fascinating safari experience. The vast, golden grasslands, fossil river valleys, and sweeping pans create a stunning, dramatic backdrop.
Key wildlife attractions include:
Black-maned Lions:
The rare and majestic Kalahari lions, with their distinctive dark manes, have adapted to the arid conditions and are a major draw.
Cheetahs:
The open plains provide ideal hunting conditions for cheetahs, making the CKGR one of the best places in Africa to witness a high-speed chase.
Large Herds:
During and after the rainy season, the northern parts of the reserve teem with large herds of springbok, gemsbok, wildebeest, and other antelopes, which in turn attract predators.
Nocturnal Animals:
You have the chance to see unique nocturnal species like aardvarks and bush babies.
The remote location of the CKGR, far from any light pollution, results in some of the most breathtaking night skies on Earth. Stargazing is a highlight of any trip here.
Beyond game drives, you can also engage in:
Nature Walks:
Go on walks with local San people to learn about their traditional knowledge and culture.
Bush Dinners:
Many lodges offer romantic, private dinners set up in the heart of the bush, under the stars. For an intimate and magical dining experience.
Wilderness Drives:
Explore the vast, untamed wilderness on a guided game drive.
The best time to visit the Central Kalahari depends on what you want to experience.
Botswana’s approach to tourism focuses on low-impact, high-cost safaris, which means the lodges are generally luxurious and exclusive. In the Central Kalahari, you can find a range of accommodations. From rustic tented camps to ultra-luxurious lodges that provide a high level of comfort, privacy, and tailored service. Many of these camps are set in remote locations, ensuring you have a secluded and romantic base for your adventures.
