You will be met in Maun by a representative of Mahlatini who will transfer you by light aircraft to Nxai Pan National Park which adjoins the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. The landscape is largely covered by grassland and dotted with clusters of umbrella acacia trees and mopane woodland in the north. During the rains from November to April – the pans become covered in grass which is a landscape very similar to the Kalahari. Nxai pan is well known for its huge springbok population and once the rains have started, gemsbok, elephant and zebras migrate to the region. At this time zebra's come in their thousands to drop their young at Nxai Pan. Extraordinarily large herds of giraffe's can be seen with up to 30 in a group. These large herds of zebras, springbok, and wildebeest attract many predators – lion, cheetah, jackal and both spotted and the elusive brown hyena, as well as the endangered wild dog and the secretive leopard. There are large numbers of bat-eared fox and raptors that prey on the rodents and reptiles. At times, Rhino's have also been sighted. Also to be seen are the eland, greater kudu and red hartebeest. Once the rains have started – the bird life is excellent.
Spend the next 3 days simply relaxing or involved in the various activities on offer including game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles, historical tours to Baines Baobabs and Pandamatenga Cattle Trail and walking.
