Nxai Pan National Park - SMALL NATURE GEM IN THE NORTHERN MAKADIKGADI SALT PANS

It consists of various fossil pans covered with short, nutritious grass. Isolated "acacia island" provides animals with good shade during the heat of the day, creating a unique scenery.

The area is home to both impalas and springboks — an extraordinary circumstance as both species usually inhabit different regions. They come together with gemsboks, zebras, and wildebeests in herds to the main pan to quench their thirst under the watchful eyes of the resident lions. With some luck, leopards, cheetahs, and wild dogs can also be encountered. Black-backed jackals and bat-eared foxes are plentiful, as well as various birds, including kori bustards and secretary birds.
