Transfer from Maun to Nxai Pan

Your guide will pick you from Maun and transfer you for about 136km on the tar road before turning off and driving 32km to Nxai Pan, on a very sandy road to Nxai National park where you will be staying for 3 nights. Part of the great Makgadikgadi complex, Nxai Pan National Park covers an area of 2,100 km2 and comprises several larger pans which were once ancient salt lakes. These larger pans are now grassed and are scattered with islands of acacia trees, and smaller pans that fill with water during the rainy season - thus providing rich resources for wildlife such as Zebras, elephants, Wildebeest not forgetting large predators such as lions, brown hyenas, and cheetahs. We spend a night, in an exclusive BOGA (Botswana Guides Association) site, away from other people.

Explore Nxai Pan National Park

The day begins with a wake-up call and then breakfast served and then head on for a game drive to experience the natural habitat, beautiful landscape as well as wildlife. When we come back from the morning drive lunch will be served at the camping area. Later in the day, we will sit at the Waterhole, the only one for miles around and very busy, if the rains haven't started. Sunsets at the Waterhole can be spectacular, with animals silhouetted against the setting sun. We return to our camp after sunset and enjoy great food and drinks around a fire.

Exploration Of Baines Baobab

We will rise early and after our breakfast, we will leave for the full day trip with our packed lunch, we will have our lunch at Baines Baobab before starting our slow drive back home. Baines Baobabs have their name for the artist and explorer Thomas Baines who first painted them in 1962 while traveling with the explorer James Chapman in this deserted Botswana area. One of the must-see destinations for those visiting the park. The seven Baobabs are also known by the name of “seven sisters” or “the sleeping sisters.
The salt lake near the Baines baobabs is dry for most of the year, while during the rainy season it is filled with a thin layer of water where baobabs mirror, creating a spectacular effect. The Baines baobab has fascinated many travelers over the years, including Prince Charles of England who visited them several times.
