Botswana Sensations Best of Bots 8-day Itinerary

Days 1 - 3

Meno a Kwena Tented Camp, Boteti River

Makgadikgadi Pans National Park

🚗 Maun International Airport to Meno a Kwena

On the western boundary of the renowned Makgadikgadi Pans National Park lies the Boteti River. Owing to the arid nature of the park, the river and the nutrient-rich western grasslands supply the essential water and sustenance for the wildlife that inhabit the region. The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is home to the second largest zebra migration in the world, where thousands of zebra migrate to the Boteti River in the dry winter months (May to Oct) from their summer grazing ground further inside the park. The fascinating contrast between the Boteti River and arid national park makes it a fascinating region to include in any Botswana safari.
