January is the rainy season in Makgadikgadi National Park. During this time the pans are replete and, as a result, dramatic migrations of wildebeest, springbok, gemsbok, and zebra take place. They are followed by lions, cheetah, and hyenas. If the rains are strong enough, the salty surfaces of the pans fill with mirroring waters of incredible scenic beauty, with up to 30,000 flamingos turning them into a deep pink. It is unfortunate that this huge water spectacle becomes practically inaccessible by road at this time, but anyone lucky enough to fly over the area during the wet season will see a water wonderland.

As May approaches we move into the dry season in Makgadikgadi National Park. The glistening surface of the pan turns into an expanse of salt and sand under the hot sun rays. As such, the vegetation, particularly in the eastern grassland region, begins to dry up which makes it is easier to drive in the park. The vast Boteti River provides a source of water that attracts a large number of herbivores, particularly wildebeests and zebras, with the perfect setting of lush vegetation. During the day temperatures are mild, around 28°C, but once the sun goes down temperatures can drop, sometimes to below zero.
