Safari bathrooms: At Nxai Pan there are 2 bucket shower "bathrooms" and 2 short-drop toilet enclosures per 8 guests.
Exclusive experience: To ensure as much privacy and exclusivity as possible, the Explorations camp at Nxai Pan is private and for the use of Adventurer Exploration guests only.
Routes: The route is specifically designed to provide guests with a unique Kalahari Desert experience combined with the famous Baine's Baobabs on the edge of one of the Makgadikgadi Pans as an additional highlight.

ITINERARY

Days 1, 2 & 3: Nxai Pan, Nxai Pan National Park

Upon arrival in Maun and once all guests are assembled, we depart overland to our pre-erected private Adventurer campsite in the Nxai Pan National Park.

The Kalahari Desert pans around Nxai Pan are fossilised and covered with short nutritious grasses and stunted acacia trees, creating wildlife-rich areas surrounded by vegetated dune savannahs. Extensive game drives explore the surrounding pans, with an excellent chance of seeing spectacular dry-season predator-and-prey interaction at the waterholes. Possible game sightings include gemsbok (oryx), springbok, even the elusive black-maned lion and a range of other different uniquely adapted wildlife not often seen in the savannah regions found in northern Botswana.

Close by is the famous Baine's Baobabs tree island, a series of enormous old baobab trees on the edge of the shimmering white Kudiakam saltpan. These trees were painted by Thomas Baines on his exploratory expedition in the late 19^th century.

Day 4: Road transfer to Maun

After an early breakfast, we travel by road back to Maun, arriving in time to bid farewell and board your departing flight.
