Makgadikgadi Pans, the Boteti River (6)



The Makgadikgadi section of the Makgadikgadi - Nxai Pan National Park is now separated from tribal land by a electrified game fence that criss-crosses the Boteti, giving both cattle owners and wildlife access to its waters (when there is any).

You cannot, any more, drive up the east bank of the river.



At Khumaga (although they no longer encourage casual visitors and you have to book) you'll find Leroo-la-Tau Safari Lodge.
Located on the north bank of the river, at the bend, it offers both the advantages of a riverine environment - complete with perennial pools stocked with hippo and crocodile, giant trees, dense vegetation, superb birding -and, to the east, the rolling grasslands of Makgadikgadi.
