TOUR INFORMATION Guests will arrive a day before the safari begins, thus they will spend a night in a hotel or lodge and then start their safari fresh in the morning on the next day.

Day 1 Maun-Makgadikgadi Pans In the morning you will drive 192 km in a safari game viewer vehicle on a tarred road with a professional guide to Makgadikgadi Pans National Park lying southeast of the Okavango Delta surrounded by the Kalahari Desert. The Makgadikgadi Pan is a salt pan situated in the middle of the dry savanna of north-eastern Botswana, and is one of the largest salt flats in the world.

Very little wildlife exist here during the harsh dry season of strong hot winds and only salt water, but following a rainy season the pan becomes an important habitat for migrating animals including wildebeest and one of Africa's biggest zebra populations, Flamingos and the large predators that prey on them. After arrival in Makgadikgadi Pans you go for game drives around the park (with picnic lunch).

Day 2 Makgadikgadi Pans Wonderful game drive (with a picnic lunch) inside the Makgadikgadi Pans. As very few animals migrate in and out of the pan, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, jackals, antelopes, Meerkat and many birds’ species.
