Tautona Campsite, Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Tautona is an oasis in the bushveld of the Kalahari. The campsites are a mere kilometre from the lodge, the perfect spot to set up camp under the thorn trees. You’re just 5 minute drive from Ghanzi on a private reserve. It’s quiet and there’s wildlife.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

Pitch your tent and set up camp. Welcome to the Kalahari on the western side of Botswana. Red sands beneath you and clear skies above.

You’re not far from the main lodge, a short walk or a five minute drive. Enjoy the swimming pool, dine at the restaurant or order an ice cold drink. In the desert, there’s something truly special about sitting pool-side in the heat with the sound of clinking ice against glass. This is an oasis and you can revel in all of it.

On a private reserve you can take a drive to explore the wildlife. There are numerous antelope to spot. Waterbuck, eland, impala, red hartebeest and oryx. Look out for giraffe and keep your eyes peeled for wild dog, lion and cheetah. They’re out there although scarce.

The waterhole is a great place to simply chill. There’s a view point and there’s game. Watch them come and go. Then return to camp and light the fire. Enjoy the stars. This is what camping is all about.
