  • Leaving the Delta you will fly south to the rugged, yet beautiful, Makgadikgadi Pans. Where there was once a vast lake, there are now miles of shimmering white salt pans expanding out in all directions. What little vegetation and water is available draws in the local wildlife making for excellent viewing opportunities. You will enjoy all of this from the comfort of your private tent at Jack's Camp.

These inquisitive creatures have been known to climb on top of visitors' shoulders in order to keep watch for predators. After a relaxing afternoon, you can head back out on a second safari in the company of local bushmen trackers to understand their culture and learn about the pans through their eyes.
