Discover the vast open space of the
Makgadikagadi Pans in Botswana, and experience a silence so complete that you can hear your own blood flowing. A series of large salt pans are all that remain of a vast ancient super lake that dried up around 10,000 years ago.
The Makgadikagadi, an arid and inhospitable land is home to many desert adapted species. When the seasonal rains come, the vast grasslands attract grazers in numbers comparable to those in Kenya – giving rise to the nickname "The Serengeti of the South."
Our Makgadikagadi Pans safari packages allow you to discover the many attractions of this unique African destination while staying in comfortable accommodation. You can enjoy a range of activities from enlightening interactions with San Bushmen to delightful game viewing excursions.
With our Makgadikagadi safari packages you can head out on quad bike excursions where you can travel across the desert at great speed, and seemingly go nowhere.

Although often stark and barren, this unforgiving land supports many hardy animals that are adapted to life in the desert such as Aardvaark, Gemsbok, Springbok, Cheetah and Brown Hyena. When the summer rains come, and the grasses sprout around the Makgadikgadi, large herds of Zebra and Wildebeest migrate into the area.
Small herds of nomadic Elephant and Buffalo can be seen around the edges of the pans, and Lions that have adapted to life in these harsh conditions can also be seen.
