Nxai Pan is located on the western edge of the fossil pan from which the camp takes its name. The biggest draw to Nxai Pan National Park are the zebras that migrate by the thousands to the area – the second largest land animal migration in Southern Africa - (usually) from late December to early April, however this is entirely dependent on the summer rainfall in Botswana which affects the migratory cycle.

A classic activity here is a walk with one of the San bushmen trackers, an informative walk that takes place within the camp’s footprint. Learn about how the San used to live nomadically: how they used to hunt, gather food, water sources, and which plants were used for medicinal purposes. Their wealth of true bush knowledge is unparalleled, and a guest favourite.

Nxai Pan is a 100% solar-operated camp and the minimalistic white-washed design of the camp is inspired by the surrounding white salt pans. The camp faces the private waterhole, with the main area being the best place for viewing the frequent visitors to the waterhole, which include elephants, cheetah, as well as the migratory herds of zebra. Nxai Pan’s nine thatched units are specially designed to provide a constant and comfortable temperature, when temperatures can fluctuate from 0⁰C - 45⁰C throughout the year. The main areas include an expansive open-air lounge and dining area, with a bar, pool and curio shop.

Day trips to Baines’ Baobabs are highly popular, and include a picnic lunch at the site.
