| The Makgadikgadi Pan is a large salt pan in northern Botswana, the largest salt flat complex in the world. These salt pans cover 16,000 km2 (6,177.6 sq mi) and form the bed of the ancient Lake Makgadikgadi that started evaporating many millennia ago.
The Parks feature great herds of zebra, springbok and wildebeest from May to November. When the rain falls, so these grazing herds, accompanied by their predatory followers in the shape of lion, cheetah and hyeana, move north into the extended Nxai Pan National Park. Large breeding flocks of Flamingo also congregate here. |
