Logistics / Seasons

This safari starts and ends in Maun in Botswana. One of the best times to visit the Makgadikgadi Pans is during the dry season, which runs from May to October. During this time, the pans are dried up and you can easily access them for activities like quad biking, game viewing, and stargazing. During green season, which runs from November to March, witness the second largest migration of zebra and wildebeest in Africa (and it’s the last remaining one in Southern Africa).

Price from $2,617 in green season (10 Jan-31 March) to $3,067 in peak season (1 July – 31 Aug).
