In this land of extreme contrasts, where vast green fields stretch as far as the eye can see, Makgadikgadi National Park encompasses more than just salt pans. Only one-fifth of the park comprises salt pans, with the majority being rolling grasslands. These grasslands attract a migration during the summer, while the western side is dominated by the Boteti River. The park encompasses four main vegetation types: riverine woodland along the Boteti, scrubland, grasslands, and salt pans with palm tree woodlands.
A highlight of the Makgadikgadi is the world’s second-largest zebra migration, involving an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 animals, primarily zebras. This migration, accompanied by predators like lions and hyenas, occurs from December to March, following the summer rains. The shallow layer of water on the pans during this period attracts a multitude of migrating birds, zebras, and other wildlife feeding on nutrient-rich grasses.
