Day 1 & 2:
On arrival at Maun Airport, you will be met by a representative who will introduce you to your pilot and show you onto your light aircraft for a departure out of Maun.
Your first destination is Nxai Pan.
Overnight for 2 nights
Nxai Pan National Park lies just north of the Maun-Nata road and adjoins Makgadikgadi Pans National Park on its northern border. The camp is situated in the tree line with 8 purpose built desert tents. All of the 8 tents have private viewing decks, inside and outside showers and fans. The main area has a swimming pool, curio shop and library.
Nxai Pan is well known for its huge springbok population and once the rains have started, gemsbok, elephant and zebras migrate to the region. At this time zebra’s come in their thousands to drop their young at Nxai Pan. Extraordinarily large herds of giraffe’s can be seen with up to 30 in a group. These large herds of zebras, springbok, and wildebeest attract many predators – lion, cheetah, jackal and both spotted and the elusive brown hyena, as well as the endangered wild dog and the secretive leopard.
A magnificent way to start any itinerary in Botswana – activities you can do whilst here include a visit to Baines Baobab’s, game drive, nature walks and star gazing.
Day 3 & 4:

Tau Pan Camp is situated inside the world famous Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) right on the edge of the beautiful Tau Pan.
After the summer rains (October – March) –the Central Kalahari Game Reserve completely transforms as the blue sky fills with huge clouds, and the plains and pans burst with sweet grasses. This is one of the best game viewing areas in Botswana at this time of year and not many people seem to be aware of this - so the visitors are few.
The Central Kalahari Game Reserve gets animals 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 & Jackals. Brown Hyenas and wild dogs are also found in the area.
All of the 8 tents have private viewing decks, inside and outside showers and fans. The main area has a swimming pool, curio shop and library – the views and wide open spaces are unbelievable and the activities on offer here are game drives and nature walks with the San trackers.
