Lodge was not so spectacular.
Drivers can not go of road so you don't get to see much wildlife (we didn't)

So glad that we included this in our itinerary as the scenery was quite different to other areas and as a result there were differences in wildlife too
Maybe the wildlife is a bit low compared to the rest - BUT THE SCENIC BEAUTY of the Kubu Island in the Sua Pan makes up in abundance - Botswanna without this stop would NOT be on!

I don't remember Nxai Pan as well as the other locations we camped in, but I recall thinking this was the place most decimated by elephants, so it had a bit of a blasted feel. But the wildlife and wilderness feel were still off the charts.
In winter the elephants leave for the Makgadigadi Pans. Slightly dissapointed, but the Bain's Baobabs are beautiful

An excellent introduction to Botswana.
My partner and I went to the Nxai Pans in September 2011 arranged by Far and Away, before heading off into the Delta with Letaka (through Naturetrek).
We stayed in Nxai Pans National Park at one of the government run camps, sleeping in tents and using the excellent solar showers at the camp. Our guide drove us on almost all of the tracks within the park, especially to the water holes which were teaming with birds and mammals. Although there were no big predators it was great to see so much wildlife on my first trip to Africa. On the last full day we went to the pans on route to Baines Boababs. The Pans were amazing; flat, hot and as far strecthing as you could see. The Boababs were an amazing place to stop for lunch! On the way back to camp on the very sandy road we had to rescue a couple who had stuck thier 4WD. I would recomend being driven!

Not a popular venue but does boast the famous "Baines' Baobabs, a must see if you visit here.
