Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve

The Makgadikgadi Pans Game Reserve – with an area of 3,900 sq. km – incorporates the western end of Ntwetwe, featuring extensive grasslands and acacia woodland. It meets the Nxai Pan National Park, separated by the Nata-Maun Road at its northern boundary. This reserve offers good wildlife viewing in the wet season, particularly when great herds of zebra and wildebeest begin their westward migration to the Boteti region. Other species include gemsbok, eland and red hartebeest, kudu, bushbuck, duiker, giraffe, springbok, steenbok, and even elephant, with predators often trailing behind, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Patient game viewers may even spot the rare brown hyena.
