Nxai Pan National Park, located in Botswana, is famous for its vast salt pans, baobab trees (Baines' Baobabs), and the seasonal zebra and wildebeest migration, especially during and after the rainy season (November to April). Accessibility can be challenging, requiring a 4x4 vehicle due to sandy and potentially muddy conditions. While solo visits are possible for experienced self-sufficient travelers, guided tours are recommended for safety and enhanced wildlife viewing, as well as navigation. The cost varies depending on the type of accommodation and tour, but expect to pay park fees and possibly camping fees. A typical visit lasts 2-3 days to fully experience the landscape and wildlife opportunities. Be prepared for extreme temperatures, especially in summer, and pack accordingly. Wildlife viewing is heavily influenced by the seasons, with the dry season offering easier navigation but less abundant wildlife, and the wet season bringing the migration but more challenging driving conditions.
