The Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana are among the largest salt flats in the world, sprawling across approximately 12,000 square kilometers. They are remnants of an ancient lake, Lake Makgadikgadi, which once covered a significant part of southern Africa. When the lake dried up thousands of years ago, it left behind a vast, shimmering expanse of salty terrain punctuated by sandy islands, ancient baobabs, and clusters of palm trees.

Unlike the barren salt flats of Makgadikgadi, Nxai Pan is covered with grasslands, dotted with small acacia trees, and surrounded by sandy savanna.
