Pickup from Maun or Kasane and Ntwetwe Pan Overnight

You will be picked up from your hotel in Maun or Kasane heading to Planet Baobab where you will be picked up at 14:00 for Ntwetwe Pan overnight. You will drive across the vast grasslands, past lonely baobab sentinels, to the edge of Ntwetwe Salt Pan. Along the way, your guide will explain the incredible adaptations of the species that are unique to the Kalahari Desert environment. On reaching the lunar landscape of Ntwetwe Salt Pan, you’ll enjoy breath-taking views of sparkling salt that extend as far as the eye can see. Go where no man has ventured before - far across the unexplored wilderness of the vast and empty saltpans. This afternoon, you will meet some of the Kalahari’s most fascinating inhabitants, the meerkats. After your meerkat mission, it’s time to head to camp, or to be more accurate, the middle of nowheresville! Enjoy a drink before a barren and beauteous sunset, followed by a barbeque dinner cooked by your ever-talented guide.

Wake up to the Kalahari sun rising and Maun/Kasane drop off

Wake up to the Kalahari sun rising between your feet. Warm your hands on a mug of piping hot coffee and soak up the solitude. This morning, you’ll search for the stone tools that remain scattered on the surface of the salt pan and your guide will give a comprehensive explanation of the manufacture of the tools as well as the evolution of man himself. Remember that these are not your property. Throw them back from whence they came. Just when you think you couldn’t take any more stone-aged antiques, you’ll drive back to the edge of Ntwetwe Pan and explore the surrounding area in search of uniquely adapted desert species such as bat-eared foxes, springbok and kori bustards. Then, it’s back to Planet Baobab for a much-needed shower and a scrumptious breakfast. Then, you will be picked back to Maun or Kasane.
