Makgadikgadi Pans | Makgadikgadi Camp Botswana

Makgadikgadi Pans camp Botswana.

Over 150 years ago, when the first weary travellers passed through this land on their long journey northwards, they spoke of vast herds as far as the eye could see, of beautiful palm islands and a sea of land they could not comprehend.
The amazing truth is that very little has changed! The enormous plains of the Makgadikgadi will instill on you a true understanding of what silence is all about. The whispering grass, the call of a bird or the roar of a lion in the dead of night are the sounds of our home. The silence is almost physical.
Dumela Botswana offers discounted rates to the following lodges in the Makgadikgadi & Kalahari.

And this place could not be more different from everywhere. The camp is the Stewart Granger Memorial Collection of 1940s safari tents, with no running water nor electricity but with comfortable beds, cotton sheets, paraffin lamps, wonderful food and personal service.

Makgadikgadi Camp safari.

Nestled among the palms and acacias on Hyena Island, Makgadikgadi Camp, is located on the edge of the salt pans and adjacent to Makgadikgadi National Park. The Makgadikgadi salt pans were once an ancient great lake, now a dried up lunar landscape of great wide open uninhabited spaces and endless horizons. This ancient lake reveals sites of archaelogical artefacts, stone age tools and ancient animal bones among the swirling dust devils of the dry season. However when the rain arrive, the landscape transforms into a gigantic lake, attracting a plethora of birds and the annual migration of zebra and wildebeest.

Deception Valley Lodge Kalahari Desert.

The fossil valley was first brought to the world's attention in 1985, by the book Cry of the Kalahari written by Mark and Delia Owens, who lived on the pan for seven years studying the brown hyena that live here. The Kalahari is not a true desert though, but rather an arid savanna wilderness - its broad largely featureless plains are clad by sweet grasses and by patches of camelthorn, blackthorn and other acacias. These great forbidding places also manage to sustain their wildlife populations, a surprisingly rich diversity of animals.

The Makgadikgadi is an ever changing spectacle happening before your eyes. From the life giving rain thundering from the heavens in summer, bringing life to the countless species of animal and plant life upon the plains, to the contrast of the winter with its dancing clouds and crystal night skies.
