Migration Camp Nxai Pan
Nxai Pan Mobile Tented Camp has spacious 6 x 4 metre Meru-style tents with en suite bathroom, long drop toilet and an outdoor bucket shower.
The camp is intimate, ideal for small groups and families where you can swap stories of your day's encounters while sitting around the glow of the camp fire every evening with a sumptuous meal prepared over the fire for you by your chef. The Pans of Makgadikgadi and Nxai were once the centre of a great lake that has been dry for at least 2000 years, and are today thought to be the largest saltpans in the world. The Nxai Pan National Park is over 2,100 sq kilometers. It is situated 130km south east of the Okavango Delta, and consists of the Makgadikgadi system of pans which once formed the largest inland lake in Africa dating back over 50 000 years. Today Nxai pan is a flat grass covered pan dotted with islands of clustered Acacia Tortilis trees and Mopane woodland in the North, where an amazing array of wildlife can be found. Nxai Pan is well known for a huge Springbok population as the short cropped grasses can testify, and extraordinarily large herds of giraffe with up to 30 in a group. Also to be seen are the blue wildebeest, gemsbok, eland, greater kudu and red hartebeest. |

The more commonly seen predators are the spotted hyena, cheetah, leopard and jackal with the elusive brown hyena a rare treat. Birdlife is excellent in the rainy season, November to April, when the Nxai pan is at its best.
The noisy black Korhaan is the hallmark of Nxai pan and small raptors such as Kestrel and goshawks abound.
A visit to Baines Baobabs is a great attraction.
