Welcome to Nxai Pan National Park

Nxai Pan is located on the western edge of the fossil pan from which the camp takes its name. The camp faces east over the open grasslands of the pans and accommodates a maximum of 18 guests,

in thatched units specially designed to provide a constant and comfortable temperature throughout the year.

Excellent game viewing is possible from the comfort of your rooms as the water hole in front of the camp draws a multitude of mammal species.

The daily safari routine usually involves an early morning wake up call and a gathering around the fireside for piping hot tea and coffee, a bowl of sumptuous porridge and freshly baked muffins.

As well as the clean early morning air and dazzling sun rise, an early departure greatly increases the chances of unusual sightings, as the majority of mammals are active at the beginning and end of the day when temperatures are lower.

Accommodation at Nxai Pan

Set in the amazing Nxai Pan – famous for "Baines' Baobabs", Nxai Pan has 9 environmentally adapted en-suite rooms to choose from as well as a family room. Nxai Pan is also 100% solar operated.

Nxai Pan forms part of the great fossil pan system which includes the vast Makgadikgadi salt pans. These pans were once the bed of a super lake fed by the Okavango, Zambezi and Kwando rivers.

As at Nxai Pan – despite the arid environment – the Kalahari desert (Tau Pan) is home to an surprisingly diverse number of flora and fauna perfectly adapted to their surroundings.
