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.

  • 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 😂👍
  • Experience Africa at it's best, the salt pans are magical and the best driving experience you can have, the Makgadikgadi nature reserve is the perfect place to see an abundance of wildlife! Make sure you have enough fuel and a road map, the tourist map books are awesome!
