Why experience Makgadikgadi?
Makgadikgadi is about scale: immense salt pans, open horizons and landscapes that change dramatically with the seasons. It offers a striking contrast to the Delta and river systems, making it ideal for travellers who want Botswana’s desert character as part of the same journey.
