When to Go and What to Pack
Itinerary Breakdown
Day 1-2
Planet Baobab
Botswana
You’ll start your journey at Planet Baobab, spending your first two nights in Afro-chic Bakalanga Huts. Enjoy a game drive to Ntwetwe Salt Pan, meeting the resident meerkats of the Kalahari, and spotting some of the uniquely adapted desert species such as bat-eared foxes, springbok and even the magnificent desert-adapted elephant. Here, perhaps more than anywhere else in the world, you’ll be struck by a feeling of utter, marvellous isolation.
Day 3-5
Meno A Kwena

Next up you transfer by vehicle to Meno a Kwena, which overlooks the magnificent Makgadikgadi National Park. From your lofty position of your private verandah observe the animals as they drink from the Boteti River below. Activities include game drive day trips to the Makgadikgadi Pans, guided walks with the San bushmen, and up-close game viewing from the floating hide.
