Maun – Makgadikgadi Pans, Botswana
Departing from Maun, we journey to the Makgadikgadi Pans stopping on the way at the charming village of Gweta and continuing on south to Chapman’s Baobabs. The Baobabs’ circumference is more than 25 metres, leaving them to act as sentries over the distant pans – enormous glimmering salt depression on the edges of the Kalahari Desert. We spend our evening camping on the pans close to the small village of Nata. Sleeping near these pans, beneath a star-studded African sky is a truly unforgettable experience.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the rainy season in Botswana (primarily between January-March), we may not camp at the Makgadikgadi Pans. We might move our destination to Nata where we will overnight and awake early for a chance to see the Flamingos at the Flaming Sanctuary.
