No need to worry about all the logistics of getting to this remote region. We will organise every aspect of your journey down to the last detail. Who knows? It may even be one of the highlights of your trip.
Makgadikgadi is certainly along the road less travelled so it means you can get off the beaten track and escape the crowds. You may have the whole place to yourself - an exclusive windlife experience!
There are airstrips at both Gweta (near Ntwetwe Pan) and Nata (near Sowa Pa) so you can jet straight into Makgadikgadi over the pans themselves. Or you can fly into Maun and get a road transfer to the lodge of your choice. You can also hire a 4x4 and explore the area as you wish, taking your time to appreciate the sights and sounds of this wonderful area. It is approximately a two-hour drive from Maun to the Makgadikgadi area.
Most flights to this area depart from Maun or Kasane (in Chobe) which makes this an ideal trip to combine with
Chobe National Park, the
Okavango Delta and
Victoria Falls. There are regular flights to these destinations from Johannesburg. We can organise everything from your trip, accommodation and flights. Whatever suits you best.

The Makgadikgadi area is a collection of different pans crisscrossing their way across the barren wilderness. The three most notable pans are
Ntwetwe Pan (south of Gweta),
Sowa Pan (southwest of Nata) and
Nxai Pan (north of Gweta). In the dry season, the pans are an empty, almost apocalyptic collection of cracked mud but in the wet season they become an oasis and a haven for wildlife as animals flock to the watering holes.
There are a variety of lodges in the area to suit your every need and they all offer great game viewing activities to complement your African experience. We are Botswana experts, have visited all these properties and some of our consultants have worked in this region. So if you have any questions or issues just let us know and one of our consultants can try help you decide on your African adventure.
