1-Day Makgadikgadi Salt Pans Safari

• You'll be collected from the airport.

Please stay overnight in Maun. You will be picked up from your hotel, and the trip will start at 5 AM.

The Makgadikgadi is in fact a series of pans, the largest of which are Sowa and Ntwetwe, both of which are surrounded by a myriad of smaller pans. Massive baobab trees populate some fringe areas – and their silhouettes create dramatic landscapes against a setting sun.

The Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve, covering 3,900 sq km, includes the western end of Ntwetwe, extensive grasslands, and acacia woodland. At its Northern boundary, it meets the Nxai Pan National Park, separated only by the Nata-Maun Road.

During the Wet season, this reserve offers good wildlife viewing, particularly when large herds of zebra and wildebeest begin their westward migration to the Boteti region. Other species include gemsbok, eland and red hartebeest, kudu, bushbuck, duiker, giraffe, springbok, steenbok, and even elephant, along with their accompanying predators.
