Makgadikgadi Pans Botswana: everything you need to know about Africa's largest salt flat.<\/h2> \t

There are places in the world that you just can't explain. The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park is one of those places. An endless white expanse in the middle of Botswana, where there are no trees, no hills, and the only sound is the wind. It's one of the largest and most bizarre landscapes on Earth, and undoubtedly one of the most unexpected highlights of a trip through Southern Africa.<\/p>\n

The Makgadikgadi Pans are the remnants of a prehistoric lake that was once larger than all of Switzerland. That lake dried up thousands of years ago, leaving behind a vast network of salt flats in northeastern Botswana. The two largest are the Sua Pan and the Ntwetwe Pan. Together, they form one of the largest salt flats in Africa, covering a total area of over 12,000 square kilometers.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
