Camping on the Salt Flats in Makgadikgadi
Overall rating
5/5

We stayed at Planet Baobab lodge near Gweta. Funky place, with great people. It's hard to believe that it is owned by the same group that owns Jack's Camp a few miles away. The best thing about camping on the salt pans is the TOTAL isolation. We never saw another person during the 30 hours we spent on the pans. And as the sun set, our shadows just kept getting longer.

Beautfiful...though there is plenty of wildlife, it does not compare to the chobe nat park for example. The baobabs steal the show here anyway. Amazing trees...

It was winter so that may have impacted the "beauty" a little but getting to see the nesting vulture community was awesome. The way out was very bumpy but it's the bush of Africa and I wouldn't expect, nor want, anything else.
