Botswana Road trips
2 curated road trips in Botswana — Kalahari Desert Drive, Makgadikgadi Pans. Mapped stops, distance, duration, best season, and practical route notes.
Kalahari Desert DriveCross the world's largest sand system from Gaborone west to the Central Kalahari, red dunes, black-maned lions, meerkats at sunrise, and skies so dark the Milky Way casts shadows on the sand.
Makgadikgadi PansThe remnant of an ancient mega-lake larger than Switzerland, two vast salt pans at the Kalahari's heart. In the dry season: meerkats and brown hyena. In January: a quarter-million zebra on the world's second-largest migration.
