Day 2- 3: Nxai Pan National Park, camping
Rising with the sun, our route takes us 500 kilometres south to Nxai Pan National Park where sweet grasses host a variety of wildlife. We stop en route for a picnic lunch and enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park before getting to our campsite. We set up bush ablution facilities and overnight two nights in the same campsite.
Next day we explore Nxai Pan and enjoy the plains which can be dotted with grazing herds of impala and springbok. In the afternoon we will visit the magnificent Baines Baobabs. These regal trees, immortalised by the explorer Baines’ painting, are situated on the edge of an expansive saltpan. (B,L,D)
