Things to see in Botswana: The Makgadikgadi Pans

The Makgadikgadi, along with nearby Tau Pan, is one of Africa's most important wetland sites. The extensive salt pans remain dry and empty for much of the year, but during the rains are transformed into great sheets of water, which attract vast flocks of flamingos and other migratory birds. This is also the only area in Southern Africa where you can see a migration of tens of thousands of blue wildebeest and Burchell's zebra. Mammal specials here include gemsbok, brown hyena and springbok.
