Discover the unforgettable Makgadikgadi Pans
The Makgadikgadi Pans is one of the most unique areas that you will find in all of Africa. The pans are situated in North-Eastern Botswana and are home to both incredible wildlife and unforgettable sunsets over the vast savannas.
One of the first things you'll notice about the pans is the unique landscape. The pans are surrounded by the Kalahari desert and so naturally the landscape is desert-like. That being said there are water pools & grasslands that attract thousands of animals looking for nutrition.
This contrast of harsh and favourable conditions provides visitors to the region with often concentrated areas of wildlife, making for exceptional game viewing. Wildlife to be seen on the Makgadikgadi pans include a wide range of antelope and of course the world famous flocks of flamingoes.
Highlights
