The Makgadikgadi Pans, comprising the largest known saltpans in the world and covering an area of over 12 000 square km, are all that remains of a vast lake that once covered a large part of Botswana. It is a place of unique isolation; completely dry and barren in the winter seasons, but the focal point of migratory game and birdlife during the wet season. Much of Makgadikgadi Pan also comprises large areas covered in short sweet grasses attracting some interesting plains game and predators during the wet season. The pans are considered absolutely treacherous for vehicles, even when appearing nice and safe, and many vehicles have been lost or abandoned.

The Makgadikgadi Pans feature in the itinerary of the following tours:
