| Makgadikgadi Pans | |
| The Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana are among the largest salt flats in the world, sprawling across approximately 12,000 square kilometers. They are remnants of an ancient lake, Lake Makgadikgadi, which once covered a significant part of southern Africa. When the lake dried up thousands of years ago, it left behind a vast, shimmering expanse of salty terrain punctuated by sandy islands, ancient baobabs, and clusters of palm trees. | |
| Nxia Pan National Park | |
| Nxai Pan National Park is a stunning area in northeastern Botswana, adjacent to the Makgadikgadi Pans. It covers around 2,580 square kilometers and is named after the Nxai Pan, one of the fossilized salt pans in the region that dates back thousands of years. Unlike the barren salt flats of Makgadikgadi, Nxai Pan is covered with grasslands, dotted with small acacia trees, and surrounded by sandy savanna. | |
