Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Botswana
The Makgadikgadi Salt Pans in Botswana were once an ancient great lake in central Botswana. Now a dried up lunar expanse, the Makgadikgadi Pans fill with water just once a year when the rains fall, attracting a plethora of game and birdlife to this region of Botswana.
The annual rains bring life to wild grasses, which attract the last surviving migration of Zebra and Wildebeest in southern Africa. This is a spectacle not to be missed!
When dry, the barren landscape of the Makgadikgadi is in stark contrast to the game-rich Okavango Delta and therefore makes a wonderful combination.
The Makgadikgadi is the home of the San Bushman and one of the last places where you can interact with these unique people and experience such natural beauty.
