What's special of this expedition?

This 11 day camping safari covers three remote and contrasting regions: the open grasslands and salt pans of the Makgadikgadi, the remote desert environment of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, and the pristine wetlands of the Okavango Delta.

The game viewing in these arid areas of Botswana are at their best just after the rains, and it is during this period of March and April that we offer scheduled and customized safaris to these regions. Accommodation is in tents with beds and bedding, and a cook and camphand handle the camp chores.

Day 5 - Day 6	Drive to Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve
	Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve	This area is particularly beautiful after the rains have fallen, and when the pans fill up with water they often attract waterfowl in vast numbers. Large herds of Gemsbok and Springbok can occur, and one of Southern Africa's last Zebra and Wildebeest migrations takes place here when they move into the area to enjoy the good grazing and ample water.
