Makgadikgadi Game Reserve
This reserve is located in the northwestern part of the Makgadikgadi Pans, a 12,000 square kilometer stretch of wilderness consisting of two salt pans - Ntwetwe and Soa - and their associated grasslands. The reserve covers 4,200 square kilometers and contains ever moving wildlife - the lion, leopard, wild dog, cheetah, springbok, gemsbok, herds of wildebeest and zebra, brown and spotted hyena, and eland and other antelopes. Facilities at the reserve include a network of game viewing tracks, which are suitable for 4X4 vehicles only. So visitors are advised to travel in these vehicles only and carry their own food, water, petrol, spares and other requirements. Visitors also need to take precautions against malaria and take protective measures against dangerous animals while camping. Since it is relatively easy to get lost within the park, visitors should keep to the main tracks and carry a compass and a good map with them. 

During the wet season (November to May) the pans fill with water and attract a myriad of flamingos, pelicans, ducks and geese together with large herds of zebra wildebeest and other plains game. During the dry season the water recedes leaving an immense shallow depression of salt pans and semi-desert, which are hauntingly beautiful in their desolation. 

"....it is extremely difficult to describe the atmosphere that enfolds this vast expanse of 12 000 kmē of nothingness, the subtle hues at sunset that change the landscape into a wonderland of surrealistic beauty...." (Veronica Roodt)
