Makgadikgadi Pans National Park: Meerkats and Salt Crusts

The Makgadikgadi Pans are the remnants of a prehistoric lake, now a vast expanse of shimmering salt. During the dry season, you can interact with habituated meerkats and ride quad bikes across the crust. When the rains arrive, the pans transform into a lush wetland, hosting one of the largest zebra migrations in Africa.
