Here, you can see the very entertaining meerkats, the impressive baobab trees and the incredible biodiversity of the region.

Later, enjoy a half-day Ntwetwe Salt Pan adventure and a meerkat visit. A guide will take you to see a colony of habituated meerkats who live on the edge of the Ntwetwe Salt Pan. These meerkats are human-habituated and therefore give guests a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to observe their natural behaviours and charming personalities from almost a touching distance.

After visiting and interacting with the meerkats, you will be transported to the vast Ntwetwe Salt Pan, which forms part of one of the largest salt pans in the world. Likened to being on the surface of the moon, the sight of the salt pan is truly one to behold.
