Nxai Pan Camp

Nxai Pan Camp is the only camp in Nxai Pan National Park, a place famous for its seasonal zebra migration, ancient baobabs, and a stillness that allows you to hear your own heartbeat.

This is a stark, otherworldly expanse where gemsbok and springbok roam the dusty plains in the dry months, and elephants file past camp in a steady procession, drawn to the waterhole like clockwork. But the rains arrive, and a lush green wonderland erupts, teeming with thousands of zebras on Africa’s second-largest migration, followed closely by prowling predators.

Once upon a salt pan, this was the Superlake Makgadikgadi, an ancient inland sea that dried up thousands of years ago, leaving behind open grasslands, surreal salt flats, and stories written in sand. Take a trip with our desert guides and trackers to uncover them.

Travel to the legendary Baines’ Baobabs and follow in the footsteps of explorer David Livingstone and feel the stillness of centuries past. This iconic cluster of ancient baobab trees not far from camp, once stood on the shores of this great lake. Painted by Thomas Baines in 1862, the massive baobab trunks defy the passage of time and are still unchanged. Explore more and you might uncover other relics…
