Botswana’s safari landscape is set to expand with the opening of Elephant Pan – a new luxury tented camp in April 2025. Situated in the Khwai Private Reserve, the camp will offer an exclusive and immersive wildlife experience focusing on low-impact, high-quality tourism.
Elephant Pan is designed for intimate wildlife encounters with private verandas overlooking a waterhole frequented by elephants and other wildlife. The camp’s strategic location within the Khwai Private Reserve allows for year-round game viewing with opportunities to see lions, leopards, wild dogs and an abundance of birdlife.
Elephant Pan has adopted Botswana’s high-value, low-volume tourism model to ensure a minimal ecological footprint. The camp operates on solar power, promotes responsible water use and follows strict conservation guidelines. Its location in a privately managed concession allows for off-road driving as well as night and walking safaris providing guests with diverse and uncrowded wildlife experiences.
The camp’s features will include:
- 10 luxury tented suites with en-suite bathrooms
- Main lounge and dining area with panoramic bushveld views
- Plunge pool for guests to cool off between game drives
- Dedicated photographic hide ideal for close-up wildlife photography
- Curated safari experience with expert guides and trackers
Elephant Pan is a key area for wildlife conservation and community-driven tourism. The reserve operates in partnership with local communities to ensure revenue generated from tourism directly benefits conservation efforts and local livelihoods.
