Central Kalahari Game Reserve Safari Holidays: Thakadu Camp and Safaris is situated near Ghanzi Village on it's own private game reserve in the land of the “Khoi San” or Bushmen. Situated 670 km from Gaborone, 500 km from Windhoek and 280 km from Maun. Previously extremely remote, Ghanzi is now served by the new Trans Kalahari Highway which was completed in the late nineties. Thakadu overlooks a natural pan with permanent water, surrounded by ancient "motswiri" or leadwood trees. The pan attracts large numbers of Kalahari game and a fabulous variety of birds. Thakadu was opened in early 1999 with a view to providing affordable accommodation and camping in as natural as possible a Kalahari setting.

BAR & RESTAURANT: Establishment have a well stocked bar, which is a popular waterhole by the waterhole. Hosts' cosy restaurant overlooking the pan (waterhole) provides excellent a la carte meals at reasonable prices and a selection of wines is available. A raised swimming pool is available for guests which also overlooks the pan.
GAME DRIVES, HORSE TRAILS, BUSHMAN DANCES: Bush walks, Bushman guided walks, game drives (including night drives), horse trails and bushman dances are available but should preferably be organised in advance.
