Nxai Pan National Park


The group has just returned from two nights camping in Nxai Pan National Park. The highlights included some very close sightings of Secretarybirds, Zebra, Gemsbok, Steenbok , Elephants, Giraffe and 100 bird species at a very busy waterhole. Tracks of lions, Leopards and cheetah have been seen, but so far only visual has been of a wildcats, but bigger cats to come hopefully.

The group has had their first taste of camping and wildlife drives. Tonight we stay in Maun, and visit a local hall to learn something of the local culture, sample some traditional food and relax prior to our last night in a hotel for some time.
