MAKGADIKGADI CAMP
 
General Information

Nestled among the palms and acacias on Hyena Island, Makgadikgadi Camp, is located on the edge of the salt pans and adjacent to Makgadikgadi National Park, a perfect base to explore this unique and changing land.. 
The Makgadikgadi Salt Pans is a remnant of a vast and ancient “Super Lake” today… the Makgadikgadi has a lunar landscape but in the Summer months  (December to March) it is transformed into great sheets of water, which attract a spectacular array of water birds and trigger dramatic migrations of wildebeest and zebra this is one of Southern Africa’s last true migrations.

     
Highlights & Activities

Day and Night Drives, Quad biking, Visits to the Makgadikgadi Pans, Archeological sites, and Sleep outs on the pans; are all on offer here.
The area around the camp consists of, this open lunar landscape area with a Mopani woodland strip on the one side. When you go on a Game Drive most of your time will be spent in the woodlands, where the animals can hide form the eyes of the predators. At night time some species will move to the more open parts, giving exceptional viewing and photo opportunities.
For those of us that like a bit more freedom, why not consider the Quad biking. Led by your Guide you will gently cruise over the open Pans.
The Makgadikgadi Pans stretches over an area of 80km x 100km with almost no human interference. Thus being then perfect place to do a sleep out, and enjoy the billions of stars above you.
Follow the tracks of the inhabitant many centuries ago, and look at the ways they have lived. Appreciate the ancient tools they have made to survive in these vast open and dry areas
