Nxai Pan Holidays
Botswana’s salt pans lie in the heart of the northern Kalahari, it is a harsh and desolate landscape providing an overwhelming sense of isolation and an extremely rewarding wilderness experience. Nxai Pan National Park lies at the northern edge of the ancient lake Makgadikgadi basin and is contiguous with Makgadikgadi Pans National Park.
Nxai Pan is a great park for watching herds of plains game, is well known for its huge springbok population and, once the rain has arrived, elephant and zebras migrate to the region. After good rains the lush green grasslands teem with great concentrations of Burchell’s zebra, blue wildebeest and springbok and large herds of giraffe (often over 40 strong) are found moving across the pans.
The famous Baines' Baobabs which overlook Kudiakam Pan are a spectacular sight and the night skies are phenomenal. When combined with the lily-dappled Okavango Delta, the sheer diversity of Botswana is evident.
