Begin your adventure with a pickup from your hotel or lodge in Maun. Meet your guide and receive a trip briefing before departing for Makgadikgadi Game Reserve. Drive along the A3 road, which interconnects Maun and Khumaga. Upon arrival at the entrance gate, enjoy a packed breakfast.

After breakfast, embark on a game drive along the Boteti River, where you’ll see zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, and large herds of elephants. During lunch, your guide will find a nice place around the park where you can enjoy a packed lunch.

Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is one of the largest flat salt pans in the world. During the wet season (November to March), wildlife viewing is excellent, particularly when large herds of zebra and wildebeest begin their westward migration to the Boteti region.

While Botswana is a world-renowned safari destination, the wildebeest and zebra migration here is one of Africa’s best-kept secrets. Species include gemsbok, eland, and red hartebeest, as well as kudu, lions, cheetah, leopard, duiker, giraffe, springbok, steenbok, and even elephant, with all the accompanying predators, as well as the rare brown hyena.

The Makgadikgadi will provide opportunities to focus on semi-desert species such as elusive brown hyena, bat-eared fox, or meerkats. During the game drive, you will be able to track the black-maned lion of the Kalahari. The black-maned lion of the Kalahari has a dominant colour, its adaptation is very high and therefore it can survive in harsh conditions. African wild dogs, cheetahs, and brown hyenas can also be found following their prey in this unmated wilderness.

After a game drive in the park, you will be transferred back to Maun and dropped off at your place of accommodation.
