Nxai Pan National Park is over 2 500 km2 of achingly beautiful, arid bushveld in north-western Botswana. Forming part of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans complex, the park is known for its spectacular desert scenery and wildlife.
Due to the arid nature of the climate, and the saltiness of the pans, fauna and flora are limited. This, in itself, is part of the reason for the stark beauty of this dry region.
Nxai Pan National Park consists of vast plains that, when the rains come, turn into lush grasslands, dotted about with trees that are synonymous with Africa - Acacias, Baobabs and Mopane. Due to the indigenous Mopane woodlands, numerous animals call Nxai their home permanently. These include jackal and bat-eared foxes, antelopes (like springbok, impala, and kudu), lions, and giraffes.
The rains bring huge herds of migratory animals - wildebeest, zebra, elephant, giraffe and many species of antelope - followed closely by predators - lion, cheetah, and the brown hyena.
