The Makgadikgadi salt pans are considered one of the largest salt pans in the world. It is an area where there is a lot of sand and where a 4×4 vehicle is needed to drive on these types of terrain. Within the national park, there are also different mobile camps where camping is possible but without any service. + XireXawa Gate, much less crowded and located east of the park. There is also the option to stay at Boteti River Camp, a simple accommodation that offers the option of dinner and breakfast included. Next to this door is a public campsite with baths and showers. + Khumaga gate, located to the west of the park and where you have to cross a river by ferry. Coming from Maun, we find this gate to the south just before reaching the Nxai Pan. + Phuduhudu Gate, located on the road from Maun to Nata. To enter the Makgadikgadi Pan, we find three main entrances: April is a good month to see them as they migrate to Chobe National Park. During the rainy season, from November to April, many zebras come to the area to feed on the grass that grows around the salt marshes. You can also see giraffes, elands, kudus, gazelles, oryx and some elephants, among others. It covers an area of about 3,900 km².ĭuring the dry season, from May to October, it is a good time for animal sightings as large herds of wildebeest and zebras are concentrated there because they begin their migration to the Boteti area.
The Makgadikgadi Pan is an area south of Nxai Pan known as the “rough and lifeless land.” This meaning of its name lies in the set of salt flats that form a surreal and impressive landscape. This salt marsh is divided by the main road that runs from Maun to Nata, forming two National Parks: Nxai Pan National Park and Makgadikgadi Pan National Park. In the center of Botswana we find a very interesting area which is a large salt marsh that extends 12,000 km².
