Day 1: Makgadikgadi & Nxai Pan NP
Welcome to Makgadikgadi and the start of your holiday. You will arrive by your own personal arrangements today. Makgadikgadi & Nxai Pan National Park is a vast area and includes Ntwetwe Pan, Makgadikgadi Pans, Nxai Pan, Baines' Baobabs and Kudiakam Pan. Makgadikgadi is technically not a single pan but many pans with sandy desert in between, surrounded by the Kalahari desert. Enjoy a game drive in the park today. (Dependant upon your arrival time)
Day 2: Makgadikgadi & Nxai Pan NP
Enjoy more game drives today. Makgadikgadi & Nxai Pans National Park, are like no other landscape on earth. The 3900-sq-km Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve extends from the Boteti River in the west to the Ntwetwe Pan in the east. Although the Boteti River only flows after good rains, wildlife congregates along the river during the dry season when the flow is reduced to a series of shallow pools, as these are the only source of permanent water in the reserve.
