    Nxai Pan National Park

    Overview

    Part of the Makgadikgadi complex, Nxai Pan NP comprises several large pans. Nxai Pan is the easiest of the pans to drive to, and the wildlife viewing tends to be the best as well. Unlike the salt-encrusted pans at Makgadikgadi, Nxai Pan is a waterless, fossil pan covered in grass with acacia islands. The area comes to life after the summer rains in December, when big herds of migrating zebra and wildebeest, accompanied by other grazers, arrive to feast on the new grasses.

      Nxai Pan can be visited year-round. It’s a seasonal park and wildlife migrates to the park in the wet, summer months – but the exact timing is erratic and depends on rainfall. Little wildlife is left in the dry months, from June to September.
