Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is halfway between Maun and Nata, and offers a mix of salt pan and rich grassland, attracting abundant wildlife.

With ancient baobabs, prehistoric beaches, Stone Age ruins and salty whirlwinds spinning over cracked earth, these ancient salt pans are the remains of a massive lake which covered the Kalahari several million years ago.

After the rains, the west of Makgadikgadi Pans attracts a high amount of wildlife to its rich grasslands. A stay in Magkadikgadi offers a unique wilderness experience and is one of the highlights of a holiday to Botswana.
