The Nxai Pan National Park is part of the Makgadikgadi region, lying north of the salt pans and covering an area of 2,600 km2. The national park comprises of Nxai Pan, Kgama-Kgama Pan and Kudiakam Pan which are now covered in grass and islands scattered about with acacia trees. The smaller surrounding pans fill with water during the rainy season, providing a rich resource for wildlife.
The highlights of the park are its waterholes, which provide some of the most dramatic predator-prey interactions in Africa during dry season.
