The Makgadikgadi lake dried up thousands of years ago as a result of the continued shifting of the earth’s crust. Lying southeast of the Okavango Delta and surrounded by the Kalahari Desert, the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans is a system of pans with sandy desert in between. The largest individual pan is about 1,900 sq miles.
San Camp is the perfect place to relax, unwind and retreat. A magnificent mess tent contains a small natural history museum and library. A tea tent and Yoga tent is spread with cushions as a place to relax and unwind. Spectacular vistas, soothing and serene – San Camp is pared down safari elegance with minimal ecological impact. In fact it is the nothingness that attracts.
