1-Day Nxai National Park

• You'll be collected from the airport.

Your safari to Nxai Pan National Park begins at 5:00 AM, when our experienced guide will meet you at your hotel in Maun. Your drive to Nxai Pan in a 4x4 Land Cruiser will take about three hours. When you arrive at the park, you’ll enjoy a breakfast before exploring the park’s salt pans: Nxai, Kgama-Kgama, and Kudiakam. During this game drive, you’ll spot iconic wildlife like springbok, impala, gemsbok, giraffe, and elephant. Depending on the day there are chances to find predators such as lions etc.

At lunchtime, you’ll venture south to discover the natural spectacle of Baines’ Baobabs. This grove gets its name from explorer Thomas Baines, who was associated with David Livingstone and famously painted the baobabs in 1862. These enormous trees rise from the stark landscape like an oasis in a desert, and they make a perfect spot to have lunch. In the afternoon, you’ll enjoy a game drive on the way back to the park gates arriving roughly around 1700-1800.
