This unique and funky camp is situated just off the main Nata to Maun road, borders the extensive Makgadikgadi Pans system. The pans are the remnants of the once great Lake Makgadikgadi, at some 80 000 square kilometres in extent, and up to 30 metres deep, thousands of years ago, this was the largest inland sea in Africa.
In the wet season (November to March), this vast area of salt pans interspersed with low-lying grass islands is the destination of herds of migrating wildebeest and zebra, which are followed by predators.
At Planet Baobab, you can sleep in traditionally styled Bakalanga huts with en suite showers, curl up in a Bushmen hut complete in every detail, pitch your tent, or park your 4 x 4. You can light your own camp fire, or gather round the communal blaze in the lelwapa and enjoy a cool drink, then sling your own boerewors (local sausage) onto the fire or enjoy the Camp’s unique Pan-African cuisine. Meals are taken in the adjacent dining area under the spreading branches of a morula tree.
Base yourself here and you can take guided walks and quad bike trips into the bush and the Pans with expert Guides discovering the geological origins of this austere, but beautiful area. Follow the palm trail created by elephant droppings as these ancient creatures trekked across the arid waste when the super lake dried up; pick up, (and replace!), thousand year old spear heads left by the Stone Age hunters who were the region’s first inhabitants.
