Nxai Pan National Park

Botswana · built 1992

Nxai Pan National Park is a national park in north-eastern Botswana, consisting of Nxai Pan, which is one of the Makgadikgadi Pan salt flats. Nxai Pan National Park lies just north of the Maun-Nata main road and adjoins Makgadikgadi Pans National Park on its northern border. The pan itself is a fossil lake bed of approximately 40 km2 in size. It is home to the cluster of millennia-old baobab trees, which owe their name to Thomas Baines, who first described them for Western botany. Baines’ Baobabs, as they are known today, are a sight sought by many travelers venturing into this untamed terrain of Botswana.
