You will be picked up from your accommodation in Maun or Kasane and taken to Planet Baobab, where you will be picked up later in the afternoon for an overnight stay at Ntwetwe Pan. You'll drive through vast grasslands, past lonely baobab sentinels, to the edge of Ntwetwe Salt Pan. Along the walk, your guide will discuss the remarkable adaptations of the species that are unique to the Kalahari Desert environment. When you arrive at the lunar landscape of Ntwetwe Salt Pan, you will be treated to breathtaking views of shimmering salt that stretch as far as the eye can see. Go where no man has gone before, far into the uncharted wilderness of the wide and empty saltpans. This afternoon, you'll meet some of the Kalahari's most fascinating inhabitants: meerkats. After your meerkat adventure, it's time to return to camp, or, more accurately, the middle of nowheresville! Enjoy a drink before a solitary but stunning sunset, then your ever-talented guide will prepare a BBQ dinner. The main destination is Ntwetwe Pan (Makgadikgadi Pans NP). Accommodation: Budget camping

Safari Highlights
- Day 1: Pickup from Maun or Kasane and Ntwetwe Pan
Day 2: Wake up to the Kalahari sun rising and Maun/Kasane drop off
Your 2-day Botswana safari, day by day
Each day below shows where you go, what you experience, and where you can stay—luxury, mid-range, and budget lodge options included.
Wake up to the Kalahari sun rising between your feet. Warm your hands with a mug of scorching hot coffee and enjoy the tranquility. This morning, you'll look for the stone tools that are still scattered on the salt pan's surface, and your guide will explain how the tools were made as well as how man evolved. Remember that this is not your property. Throw them back where they came from. When you think you can't take any more stone-aged antiques, you'll return to the edge of Ntwetwe Pan and explore the surrounding area in search of uniquely suited desert creatures like bat-eared foxes, springbok, and kori bustards. Then it's back to Planet Baobab for a well-deserved shower and delicious brunch. Then you'll be transported back to Maun or Kasane. The main destination is Ntwetwe Pan (Makgadikgadi Pans NP).

Independent feedback from travellers who explored Uganda with us
Can highly recommend a safari with Adventure in the Wild. Simon was responsive and communication was excellent throughout planning and while we were on the ground in Uganda.
Chimp tracking in Kibale and game drives in Queen Elizabeth were highlights of our honeymoon. The guides were friendly, punctual, and genuinely proud of their country.
Our first gorilla trek was handled perfectly — briefing, pacing, and lodge choices all made sense. Adventure in the Wild Safaris is a team you can trust in Uganda.
Your company's planning and execution are excellent, well worth your money and time. Permits, lodges, and transport were handled without stress — we could focus on the wildlife.
As solo travellers we felt safe and well looked after throughout. Permits, park fees, and lodge check-ins were all sorted before we arrived — stress-free from day one.
We chose Adventure in the Wild Safaris after reading reviews and were not disappointed. Bwindi gorilla day and Lake Mburo extension were both superbly organised.
A flawless family safari — patient guides, thoughtful pacing, and help with permits made this the trip of a lifetime. The team genuinely cares about guests.
Excellent logistics for a short 5-day safari. Every driver was on time, every lodge matched the description, and the office team answered questions quickly.
