The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is a salt pan – with an area of 3,900 kilometers. Situated in the middle of the dry savanna of north-eastern Botswana.
However, it is one of the largest salt flats in the world. Lying southwest of the Okavango Delta and is surrounded by the Kalahari Desert.
Makgadikgadi Pans National Park comprises nutritious grasslands, attracting thousands of animals. It is, however, an area of low rainfall, and the Boteti River rarely flows to capacity – but often has everlasting pools that attract waterbuck, bushbuck, and hippos.
The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is situated south of the Nxai Pan National Park in Botswana and forms with its huge salt pans an impressive surreal landscape.
The name “Makgadikgadi” means “vast, lifeless land”.
For those who prefer solitude and silence, this is paradise, as even during the high season people are scarce here.
