Makgadikgadi Pans National Park
Overview
Makgadikgadi Pans National Park
If you’re planning for Safaris in Botswana, then visiting the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is a must. The park is largely a salt flat – covering an area of nearly 4000 km. It’s located at the heart of the dry savannahs of the northeastern region of Botswana. Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is surrounded by the Kalahari Desert and lies southwest of the Okavango Delta.
The vast panoramas of white sand and salts of the Makgadikgadi support great concentrations of wildlife!
Vast areas of nutritious grasslands support thousands of animals in the park. But, the area receives low rainfall – yet the everlasting pools attract hippos, waterbucks, and bushbucks. When the pans fill they attract several birds like pelicans and flamingos. A Safari in Makgadikgadi Pans National Park across the remote plains will be a magical experience, heightened by the sense of exclusivity.
Looking for unique experiences and activities? The Makgadikgadi Salt Pans National Park has heaps of it. Below are some major upshots:
- Towering, majestic baobab trees in the Ntwete Pan and Kubu Island.
- Relish sleeping under the pans and stargazing into the night!
- Perfect sense of Isolation and seclusion – experience the raw and unfiltered beauty of the remoteness; in quietness lies hypnotic wonders!
- Spotting desert-adapted wildlife – a unique sight only a few places have.
The following are some of the top activities that you should certainly tick off your itinerary when on Safaris in Makgadikgadi Pans National Park:
Quad biking across the vast unending pans – A delight for thrill seekers!
Birdwatching – We recommend a visit during the wet season (November to March) if you’re interested in birdwatching.
Game viewing – Witness thousands of zebras migrating across the park in abundant numbers. Again, the wet season is the time to go to experience this sight! But, stick to the dry if you want a more classic game viewing experience.
Guided nature walks with the Bushmen trackers – Learn about the way of life and culture of the Bushmen and the ancient historical sites.
