Largely uninhibited and roughly the size of Portugal, Makgadikgadi Pans National Park remains waterless for much of the year. With sufficient rainfall, the 12,000 sq km (4, 6333 sq mi) flat stretch of land turns into a grassy plain, attracting wildebeest, zebras, flamingos by the thousands, and many more animals you can spot on a guided tour through the area. Before you head to Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Makgadikgadi Pans National Park trip planner, to make sure you see all that Makgadikgadi Pans National Park has to offer, including Makgadikgadi Pans National Park.

ISAAC is a remarkable guide. He knows the animals and the stars. incredible evening. We had stayed in Le Too le Tau and safaried out to the salt pan. Incredible evening of food, music, and stars.

While visiting Botswana we went to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans in Nata. These massive salt pans are home to thousands of flamingo's and pelicans. Salt pans are also a great opportunity to play with perspective and take silly photos 😂👍
