Kalahari And Makgadikgadi Pans
The grasslands of the Kalahari together with the lunar expanse of the Makgadikgadi salt pans complete our footprint in Botswana. They are in total contrast to the verdant, game-rich Okavango and Linyanti regions and are a must-see for all visitors to Botswana who wish to experience the country’s diversity on their safari holiday.
The Central Kalahari safari experience focuses on species unique to the area such as brown hyena, meerkats (suricate), gemsbok (oryx), springbok and the great black-maned Kalahari lion, as well as on the geology, archaeology and anthropology of the Kalahari and Makgadikgadi.
The Makgadikgadi salt pans are a relic of an ancient superlake that covered much of southern Africa.For a few months each year, the Makgadikgadi transforms into one of the most important wetland sites in Africa. When the rains come, the pans fill with water and they become the breeding ground for huge flocks of flamingo and other migratory birds. The rains also regenerate the grasses, which attract the last surviving migration of Zebra and Wildebeest in southern Africa.
Like all our Botswana our Camps in the Kalahari and Makgadikgadi regions are small intimate bushcamps which aim to show you the best of Botswana.
We offer our guests the opportunity to explore and understand the Kalahari. A visit to the area is essential for anyone interested in evolution, the origins and the explanation of the Okavango Delta and Botswana’s big picture. For those who are prepared to travel off the beaten track and take a step back in time, a wealth of sensory experiences awaits you – from 1940s safari-style luxury to giant, ancient baobabs and prehistoric beaches.
