The reserve, a public national park, forms a huge land mass in the centre of the glorious Okavango Delta. This area is the thumping heart of Botswana, offering very high standards of game viewing in addition to some of Africa\u2019s finest safari camps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<article class=\"wysiwyg base_padded content\">\n<div class=\"block is-size-5\">\n<p>Moremi\u2019s central area is made up of Chief\u2019s Island, which is surrounded on almost all sides by the floodwaters of the Okavango Delta. Chief\u2019s Island is considered one of the best places to view the Big Five \u2013 lion and leopard are especially prevalent here.<\/p>\n<p>Zooming in again, the area we pick as the most cat-tastic within this predator capital of Africa is the far north-west of Chief\u2019s Island \u2013 a land mass known locally as the Mombo Concession. Cut off by water, and therefore unreachable other than by flight, Mombo is an area of incredible natural beauty and exceptionally fertile grazing grounds. These attributes result in a mass of game and a huge concentration of predators.<\/p>\n<p>There are only three camps here.

The Pans is interesting because it varies considerably from season to season. When the weather is dry, it consists of a series of vast salt pans that attracts only a few species of wildlife. However, when the rains move in, those pans are transformed into lakes and the game viewing becomes far more productive. We\u2019ll look at green season here first, before checking out dry-season and Central Kalahari wildlife.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n\n            \n<\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-168223\"\n    class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-spacer wak-pad-top-md wak-pad-bot-md wak-theme-light mobile-space-100 tablet-space-100 desktop-space-120\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\">\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-814340\"\n    class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-standard-content wak-pad-top-md wak-pad-bot-md wak-theme-light wak-container\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\"    >\n\n        \n    \n    <!-- Content column -->\n    <div class=\"wak-sc-content\">\n        <h2 class=\"wak-sc-title wak-h2\" >The Pans\u2019 green season<\/h2>\n        <!-- Mobile image -->\n        <div class=\"wak-sc-img__mobile\">\n            \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-345x345-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-690x690-f50_50.webp 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-600x600-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-1200x1200-f50_50.webp 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-600x600-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-1200x1200-f50_50.webp 2x\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-345x345-f50_50.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-345x345-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-690x690-f50_50.webp 2x\" class=\"wak-radius-image lazyload\" alt=\"Zebra migration, San Camp, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Botswana\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 345px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 345\/345;\" \/><\/picture>        <\/div>\n\n        <!-- Content -->\n        <div class=\"wak-copy-content-wysiwyg-container wak-body-standard-text\" ><p>Well, the green season is so green in\u00a0<a title=\"The Pans\" href=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/au\/botswana\/where-to-go\/the-pans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Pans<\/a>\u00a0that the area plays host to a big wildebeest and zebra migration! This is not on the scale of the Great Migration of Tanzania and Kenya, but it\u2019s well worth watching nevertheless. The areas between the pans, sandy during the dry season, sprout long grasses, so the herbivores have plenty to eat as well as good drinking. And just as in the Great Migration, lots of predators follow the grass-eaters into the region. Lion, leopard, cheetah, even wild dog skulk around the newly created water sources. Hyena are on hand too, to clean up after each kill.<\/p>\n<p>The Pans becomes a dream destination for birders during this time of the year, as ducks, geese, storks, flamingos, even the rare wattled crane enjoy the fresh water.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"wak-sc-img\">\n            \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-345x345-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-690x690-f50_50.webp 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-600x600-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-1200x1200-f50_50.webp 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-600x600-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-1200x1200-f50_50.webp 2x\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-345x345-f50_50.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-345x345-f50_50.webp, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/9999915426\/49076_zebra_migration_view_san_camp_makgadikgadi_salt_pans_botswana-scaled-690x690-f50_50.webp 2x\" class=\"wak-radius-image lazyload\" alt=\"Zebra migration, San Camp, Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, Botswana\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 345px;

Bitterns, cormorants, egrets, fish eagles, grebes, herons, ibises, jacanas, kingfishers, plover, rails, shags, stilts \u2013 and that\u2019s just a small selection of waterfowl. Songbirds also are numerous, as are raptors such as buzzards, eagles, goshawks, harriers, kestrels, sparrowhawks, and vultures. With a few rarities to spot \u2013 brown firefinch, coppery-tailed coucal, and pink-throated longclaw, for example \u2013 it\u2019s a very good idea to remember your binos!<\/p>\n<p>So, in summary, Botswana may be a land of contrasts in some respects, but wherever you choose to spend your safari time you will not be disappointed. The Delta, Moremi, the Linyanti, Chobe, The Pans, the Central Kalahari\u2026 if any of these areas appeals, just let us know! We can make sure you get the best of Botswana, including excellent opportunities to view any particular wildlife.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n\n            \n<\/div>\n\n<div\n
