Makgadikgadi Pans National Park

The Journey, A 5.5 to 7-hour drive (~480 km) heading south from the lush, elephant-dense riverfront of Kasane into the vast, blindingly white, and completely flat ancient salt crust of the Makgadikgadi Pans (4x4 required).
The Stargazing: Renowned as one of the best stargazing spots on Earth due to zero light pollution and arid desert air. Guests typically sleep out under the open sky on the salt flats with a 360-degree, horizon-to-horizon Milky Way. Essential
Tips: Best visited during the dry winter months (May to October) when the pans are dry enough to drive on.

Aim for a New Moon for the darkest skies, and pack heavy thermal layers as desert night temperatures frequently drop to freezing.
