Makgadikgadi Salt Pans

The Makgadikgadi Salt Pans is a remnant of a vast and ancient "Super Lake" today... the Makgadikgadi has a lunar landscape but in the summer months (December to March) it is transformed into great sheets of water, which attract a spectacular array of water birds and trigger dramatic migrations of wildebeest and zebra this is one of Southern Africa's last true migrations.

When not holding water the entire area with its lunar landscape of great wide open uninhabited spaces and endless horizons is a perfect place to get away from it all and you would go far to better Makgadikgadi Pans.

Each season has its own particular beauty, in summer when the rain have arrived the pans come to life, the birds and vegetation blossom, the migration comes to town, thousand upon thousand of zebras, enjoy your days watching the bird life, following the zebra or just relaxing looking at this vast expanse of water.

In winter, the pans dry up the large migrations leave, but the true desert animals remain, take a night drive to spot the elusive nocturnal desert species.During the day go out into the pans, either by vehicle or by bike to visit archaeological sites of stone age tools or just to see infinity and the curve of the earth.

In both seasons night drives are a fascinating opportunity to see shy nocturnal desert species, whilst during the day one can visit historical sites such as Chapmans and Greens Baobab.

Whatever the season you will find plenty to do, in this vast and magical region.
