Quad Biking in the Salt Pans

Race along the dirt of the Makgadikgadi Pans on quad bikes before enjoying a magical sunset

Makgadikgadi Pans National Park , Botswana

Enjoy an afternoon tea session at Camp Kalahari before jumping on a powerful quad bike to explore the expansive and encompassing plains of the Makgadikgadi Pans. As the dry season approaches, travellers have the opportunity to explore 1,600 square kilometres (200 square miles) of open land, accompanied only by the smooth purring of your quad’s engine. Take in the golden glow of the sky as you relax with the sun disappearing behind the horizon, beckoning on the slate-dark night, dotted with stars that sparkle like precious stones. Let yourself be swept up in the wide-open spaces beneath ancient baobab trees.

One should do this:

because quad biking in Nature Reserves is not something that comes along often. This is a completely unique experience that everyone should have the chance to enjoy.
