10 reasons why you should explore the Nxai Pan

Written by  Tiffany Bowers

Part of the Botswana Safari Collection

Taking a Botswana safari package through the Nxia Pan will introduce you to many sights of the true African wilderness. Nxia Pan and Makgadikgadi Pan are the largest salt pans in the world which offer unique safari experiences.

Nxai National Park is home to Bat-eared fox, hartebeests giraffes, raptors, cheetah, lion as well as two wildlife namely; springbok and Impala (these two animals live and rely on different terrains and are therefore rarely found in the same area).

If you’re planning on visiting Nxai Pan – here are 10 reasons why you should explore Nxai Pan.
