Nxai Pan National Park was once part of the great lake that covered central Botswana, which included The Okavango Delta, Makgadikgadi and Lake Ngami. The area is covered by grassland and clusters of acacia trees and mopane woodland. Nxai Pan is well known for its huge springbok population and once the rains have started, gemsbok, elephant and zebras migrate to the region. Large herds of giraffe can also be seen with up to 30 in a group. These all attract many predators, including lion, cheetah, jackal, leopard and wild dog.
Nxai Pan Camp opened in February 2009. It accommodates a maximum of 18 guests in 9 thatched rooms with en-suite bathrooms. One of the rooms is designed for families and accommodates up to 4 people. All rooms have views towards the permanent waterhole, that attracts a variety of mammals year round.
There is a central area consisting of a dining room, lounge and viewing deck. Additional facilities include a swimming pool, library and curio shop.
Guests staying at Nxai Pan Camp can enjoy game drives in open 4x4 vehicles with a 2-man guide / tracker team and nature walks led by experienced trackers. Day trips to the famous Baines Baobabs and Khama Khama Pan are also possible.
