Kenakare Trip Advisors
One of the world's largest salt pan networks, hosting Botswana's second-largest zebra migration and quad biking across endless white flats.
The Makgadikgadi Pans are the dried remnants of a vast prehistoric lake that once covered much of northern Botswana, today forming one of the largest salt pan networks on Earth — a blinding white, seemingly endless expanse during the dry season. When the rains arrive, the pans briefly flood and fill with flamingos, while herds of zebra and wildebeest undertake Botswana's second-largest migration, moving between the pans and the Boteti River in a cycle tied to the rains rather than fixed dates. Quad bike excursions onto the open pan, sleep-outs beneath some of Africa's clearest night skies, and visits to Kubu Island's ancient baobabs round out one of Botswana's most otherworldly landscapes.
