Makgadikgadi Salt Pans
The Makgadikgadi Pans are located in the north-east of the
country and are among the largest salt flats on earth, covering
6,200 square miles (16,000km²) of the Kalahari basin. During the
annual rains, the pans become a source of fresh water and grass for
migratory wildlife, especially the massive wildebeest and zebra
herds that move through the area. Self-drive visitors are advised
to use 4WD vehicles, a good map and a GPS system. Also, drive in
the tracks of other vehicles and keep to the edge of the pan.
