Kalahari Desert and Makgadikgadi Pans holidays showcase Botswana’s extraordinary diversity from the Kalahari grasslands to the lunar-like Makgadikgadi salt pans. During the green season (November to April) this semi-arid expanse is miraculously transformed, attracting thousands of lions and leopards, kudu and springbok, among many others. The world's largest super-lake once occupied the current site of the Makgadikgadi Pans. Today, this salty stretch attracts a wealth of spectacular birdlife, including vast flocks of pelicans, flamingoes and cranes. Add to this the astonishing ancient cave paintings
at Tsodilo Hills that date back many thousands of years; the prospect of meeting meerkats up close; quad biking across the desert; and sleeping under the stars - and this trip sounds anything but dry!

Where do I start? It was a fantastic holiday and truly memorable, a real bucket list holiday fulfilled. The transfers and timings were all seamless and made so easy for us as guests. Everything was organised behind the scenes, and everyone knew exactly where we were to be and when, so it was effortless for us. Overall it was an amazing trip and we absolutely will go back. Duba was the highlight by far and it just has a vibe that is hard to describe but is friendly, opulent, beautiful setting and laidback all at same time.
