Imagine an arid, lunar-like landscape, where meerkats dwell and Zu/’hoasi bushmen hunt. That’s Makgadikgadi: a dried-up lake which couldn’t be more of a contrast to the watery Delta.
Speaking of contrasts, during dry season (from April to October), the parched pans stretch as far as the eye can see. We recommend heading out on a quad bike to experience a spine-tingling sense of total isolation. Yet, during green season (from November to March), the landscape transforms into a lush oasis that’s the setting for a mini migration. Everyone’s heard of the big event in Kenya and Tanzania. But only seasoned safari-goers are aware of southern Africa’s migration of over 30,000 zebras, wildebeest – and their predators.
