Experience the surreal beauty of the Makgadikgadi Pans, one of the largest salt flats in the world, located in northern Botswana. Covering an area of approximately 12,000 square kilometers, this vast, otherworldly landscape is a testament to nature’s resilience and seasonal transformation.

 

During the rainy season, the pans fill with water, creating a shimmering lake that attracts an incredible migration of wildlife, including flamingos, pelicans, and other bird species. When dry, the salt flats reveal a stark, expansive wilderness that’s perfect for guided quad biking, walking safaris, and star gazing under some of the clearest night skies.

 

Makgadikgadi is also home to unique desert-adapted animals such as lions, cheetahs, and elephants, which have evolved to survive in this extreme environment. The park offers a truly unique safari experience — blending adventure, birdwatching, and cultural interactions with the local San communities.
