Explorer Camp at Nxai Pans

Located on an island in one of Botswana’s best kept tourist secrets, Nxai Pans National Park.

Why Explorer Camp at Nxai Pans?
For those who do not know the Nxai pans once formed part of a giant super-lake now long gone, in its place we find a fossilized lake bed extensive covered by grass plains, dotted with acacia trees.

Once our summer rains have fallen (November- April) the pans play host to huge herds of springbok and giraffe along with Zebra, Gnu, Gemsbok, Elephant as well as predators most noteworthy lion, hyena and cheetah. The rare and elusive brown hyena also can be found, however you need to be extraordinarily lucky.

Guest Area: Explorer Camp at Nxai Pans is another of our Explorer camps, a rustic camp only accommodating 12 guests, a real sense of old world charm and adventure prevails in these camps. The camp consists of a central mess tent, outside fire-pit and the 6 tents. We have specifically forgone any form of décor and thus allowing the full spectacle of nature to provide all the décor you would want for! Our impact on the environment is specifically low, as we do appreciate and understand our impact on this fragile eco-system.
