San Camp Add-on: In full
This 3 night visit to the eastern side of the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is designed to be easily combined with a safari in the Okavango Delta in Botswana: you stay at the simple and relaxed San Camp, in beautiful white canvas tents set in a sparse forest of fan palms, in grasslands on the edge of Ntwetwe Pan.
See our trips to Botswana for examples of suitable safari itineraries in Botswana to combine with this add-on.
Days 1-3
3 nights at San Camp (full board & activities) | Kalahari's Salt Pans, Botswana
Arriving in Maun, you'll be transferred by light aircraft, to San Camp for 3 nights. This beautiful little camp is set in a sparse forest of fan palms, in grasslands overlooking the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park. As big game is often scarce here, San camp aims to give an understanding of the area's geology, archaeology and anthropology, as well as an opportunity to observe its wildlife. You'll find nature drives and walks, night drives, and visits to sites of archaeological interest. When the season permits, 4WD quad bikes can be used to explore the surrounding saltpans - without damaging their fragile crust. There is also a group of habituated meerkats nearby and you can have some exceptionally close and relaxed sightings here. Day 4
If you are at the beginning of your trip, you will be transferred back to Maun to head off (usually by light aircraft) on your chosen Botswana safari. If you are at the end of your trip, you will fly from Maun back to London via Jo'burg. Either way, your transfers to your onward connection are included in the cost of this add-on.See Prices & details for the precise dates/prices for this trip - and all the fine print.
