The Compelling Salt Pan of the Makgadigadi

Project Description

Botswana is dominated by the Kalahari Desert which covers almost 70% of the country’s surface area.

The Makgadigadi Pan is a large salt pan in the middle of the dry savanna of north-eastern Botswana. It is one of the largest salt flats in the world and is all that remains of the formerly enormous Lake Makgadigadi, which once covered an area larger than Switzerland.

Exploring this area and experience the amazing sensation of being alone in an eerie and completely empty nothingness.

Sleeping under the stars has never been so exciting as it is here. Classic safari tents stand majestically on the shore of an enormous sparkling salt pan, each sheltered by a cluster of stately desert palms providing one with majestic views. Exploring this region can be done via quad bike, scenic flights, chopper forays into the vicinity… boundless adventures.
