Nxai Pan National Park

Adjoining the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park on its northern border, Nxai Pans were once ancient salt lakes and today, they are oceans of grass dotted with islands of trees and small pans that fill in the rainy season creating a verdant lush Garden of Eden. Visitors can look forward to impressive natural scenery and fun activities such as: the famous Baines Baobabs, first drawn by the renowned explorer in the 1860s; excellent game viewing at sunset or sunrise on a 4WD safari and first-class bird watching opportunities. Commonly spotted animals include: lion, giraffe, kudu, springbok, impala, ostrich, jackal, bat-eared fox and the elusive nocturnal porcupine.
