So after getting the car fixed–again. Without knowing what to expect from the Makgadikgadi salt pans, we headed south to see what the fuss was about. The Makgadikgadi starts at Nata and extends westward. We arrived at the Nata Lodge and signed up for an evening drive, but felt a little suspicious that it only cost 10 dollars for the drive which included 3 drinks each. At the start if of our game drive, we realized we wouldn’t be seeing much when the guide said there wasn’t much to see. The big attraction to the Makgadikgadi is when the water level is low and thousands of flamingos migrate to the salt pans. Our timing for the salt pans couldn’t have been worse…all we saw was tall grass and pools of water, there wasn’t a flamingo in sight, or even any animals. (not even a photo)
