Top Nature in Botswana

I suggest bringing plenty of water and snacks. There aren’t many places to buy food around, and hiking can get thirsty work!

Bring a good pair of binoculars! You'll want them for the wildlife sightings. I borrowed some from a friend and regretted not having my own for those close encounters with elephants and lions.

I recommend getting your supplies from Upington before you enter the park. The local shops have much better prices than the park shops, which can be super pricey. Trust me, you'll save a bunch!

I recommend bringing your own snacks and drinks. The prices at the park's shops can be a bit steep and you don’t want to miss out on that perfect wildlife moment because you're waiting in line for overpriced water. Trust me I learned the hard way!

My advice is to explore the Nxai Pan during the late afternoon, around 4 PM. The wildlife is more active, and you'll catch stunning sunsets that are simply magical. Don't miss the photo ops!

My advice is to visit in the early morning, around 7 AM. The animals are super active then, and it’s way cooler outside, which makes for a more enjoyable experience. Plus, you'll beat the crowds!

I suggest packing a good pair of binoculars. You might spot some amazing wildlife from a distance, and trust me, it adds a whole new level to your visit. It's also great for saving time on long walks to get up close!
