Itinerary

1. Day 1: Maun

   • Arrive at Maun International Airport. You will be met at the airport by a Botswana safari guide holding a signboard.
   • The guide will take you to your accommodation, where you will stay for 1 night on a bed-and-breakfast basis at your own expense. Lunch and dinner will be served at your own expense. You will arrive a day before the safari begins.

2. Day 2: Makgadikgadi Pans National Park

   • Drive 192 km in the morning in a safari game viewer vehicle on a tarred road with a professional guide to Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, lying southeast of the Okavango Delta surrounded by the Kalahari Desert. 

   • Relish a wonderful morning and afternoon game drive inside the Makgadikgadi Pans. As very few animals migrate in and out of the pan, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, jackals, antelopes, meerkats and many birds species. Your driver/guide will be in contact with other safari drivers and will amaze you with his skill at locating the hidden animals. Several observation towers enable you to overview the park in its entirety. Makgadikgadi pans themselves are salty deserts whose only plant life is a thin layer of blue-green algae.
