Ntwetwe Pan and Sua Pan, together with numerous smaller pans,
form the Makgadikgadi Pans system. The pans are the remnants
of the once great Lake Makgadikgadi: 80,000 square kilometres
in extent, and up to 30 metres deep, this was the largest inland
sea in Africa.
In the wet season, this vast area of salt pans interspersed
with low-lying grass islands is the destination of herds
of migrating zebra. It has an unspoilt beauty unlike any
other part of Africa.

Come and stay in real Bushmen huts! |
At PB, 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 onto the fire or enjoy PB's unique Pan-African cuisine.
Base yourself here and you can take guided walks and quad bike trips into the bush and the Pans with our expert Guides discovering the geological origins of what was once the world's largest ever super lake. 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 flint spear heads left by the Stone Age hunters who were the region’s first inhabitants.
Meals are taken in the adjacent dining area under the
spreading branches of a morula tree.
