Botswana has the largest network of salt pans in the world

Makgadikgadi is the world's largest network of salt pans, spanning an area larger than Switzerland. Set in the heart of northeastern Botswana's dry savanna, the Makgadikgadi Pan is the world's largest network of salt pans, stretching over 3900 square kilometers and formed on the bed of the ancient Makgadikgadi Lake, which began evaporating eons ago. Visiting Makgadikgadi is a one-of-a-kind salt desert experience: in the dry season, this vast expanse of sun-baked salt glistens in the light, and when the rains come, the pan is home to a plethora of flamingos and other waterbirds, as well as one of Africa's largest zebra populations, whose annual migration is a sight to behold.

Visitors can immerse themselves in the stark beauty of this incredible landscape, see a variety of wildlife, and participate in a variety of activities such as horseback safaris, game drives, and excellent birdwatching in Makgadikgadi . Other highlights include quad biking across the vast expanse of dry salt pans or taking a helicopter ride over the landscape to see countless flamingo flocks creating a magnificent pink spectacle.
