Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Nxai Pan National Park?
The best area to stay in Nxai Pan National Park is within the park itself, particularly near the Nxai Pan and Baines' Baobabs.

Staying inside the park offers the best wildlife viewing experiences. The accommodations are typically luxury safari lodges or exclusive tented camps, designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. These locations provide direct access to the prime game viewing areas, often with private concessions for a more secluded safari.

For those seeking an exclusive and immersive wildlife experience, staying near Nxai Pan is ideal. This area is known for its large herds of zebra and wildebeest during the wet season (December to April), and predators like lions and cheetahs are often spotted. The lodges here offer guided game drives and often walking safaris, allowing for close encounters with the park's animals.

Couples looking for a romantic and unforgettable safari adventure will find the camps near Baines' Baobabs particularly appealing. This iconic cluster of ancient baobab trees provides a stunning backdrop, especially at sunrise or sunset.
When is the best time to go to Nxai Pan National Park?
The best time to go to Nxai Pan National Park is during the green season, from December to April, for exceptional wildlife viewing and lush landscapes.

During these months, the summer rains transform the typically arid pans into green grasslands, attracting a vast array of wildlife. This is when large herds of zebra and wildebeest migrate into the area, making it an excellent time for wildlife photography and observing predator-prey interactions. Birdwatching is also outstanding during the green season, as migratory birds arrive.

For travellers who prioritise seeing the zebra migration and a more active ecosystem, the green season is ideal. The Nxai Pan National Park is particularly renowned for this natural spectacle, which is a highlight for many visitors. While some roads might be challenging due to rain, this period offers a unique and rewarding safari experience.

Alternatively, if your priority is easier road access and slightly cooler, drier conditions, the shoulder months of November and May can also be good.
