Special Tour 3 day
Makgadikgadi Pans Maun, Okavango Delta

Sound of Silence Classic Makgadikgadi Drive-in Safari Package

This Makgadikgadi Safari Package showcases one of Africa’s most unique safari travel destinations in the vast and silent Makgadikgadi Pans of the Kalahari Desert, a place where absolute silence is your comfort and the curvature of the earth can be imagined on the distant horizons.

Depending on the season, it may also be possible to see the largest migration of land mammals in Southern Africa, when almost 30 000 Zebra move through the area in search of the new grass after the first rains of the season have fallen.

The wildlife of the area is also unique, having adapted to the dry and arid conditions of this part of the Kalahari, where remnants of a vast inland lake have manifested in the largest salt pans in the world.
