Nxai & Makgadikgadi Pans

Central Kalahari Game Reserve

Day 1

Fly overnight to Johannesburg.

Day 2

Board a connecting flight to Maun, taking roughly 90 minutes. From here it's a scenic light aircraft flight south, to the heart of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve. Three nights here allows you to explore this great, pristine desert area in rewarding detail.

Day 3

Central Kalahari game drives are spectacular when the rainy season heralds new grasses, an influx of plains game and an assortment of hungry predators.

Day 4

Other guided activities include nature walks, Bushman interaction experiences and day trips to the stunning Deception Valley.

Day 5

Your morning activity finishes at the airstrip, where you'll catch a light aircraft flight north to Nxai Pan National Park. Here you will stay for three nights, absorbing the endless horizons of the Kalahari.

Day 6

Game viewing activities follow approximately the same seasonal fluctuations as the Central Kalahari, with vastly increased numbers of ungulates and big cats.

Day 7

An excursion to the famous Baines Baobabs is a must, which can be combined with further game drives and nature walks.

Day 8

A light aircraft transfer north takes you to the heart of the Okavango Delta for a stay in a game-rich private concession. Over a three night stay you will see a huge density of wildlife and can explore the wetlands by boat and mokoro.

Day 9

Game drives on private concessions include thrilling night drives to search out nocturnal animals.

Day 10

A final day of Delta game viewing activities.

Botswana’s Kalahari salt-pans and grasslands are an ethereal, genuinely spectacular natural wonder. Dried up lake beds in the desert provide spectacular scenery and isolation, with some truly breathtaking wildlife spectacles in the rainy season. Vast herds of plains game, including the famous zebra and wildebeest migration, head south from the Delta to the Boteti River. This itinerary is most attractive from roughly November to April, but a trip that takes in the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, Nxai Pan National Park and Okavango Delta is enticing at any time!
