The Makgadikgadi Pans National Park stretches away from the banks of the now dry Boteti River, through its interior of scrubland and grasslands, ending at the extraordinary salt pans in the east. The Makgadikgadi Pans are the remains of a great lake that once occupied a significant portion of Northern Botswana, covering approximately 60 000 square kilometers. Due to the absence of an outlet for the water, there was a considerable amount of salt residue left behind after dramatic climate change which caused the drying up of this once majestic lake. The result is salt deposits which are now a well known characteristic of this region. It is on the banks of the dry Boteti River bed that you will discover Leroo La Tau lodge. 2x nights at Leroo La Tau - inclusive of all meals, all refreshments, local spirits and wines (excluding premium brands), laundry service, twice-daily scheduled game activities, all park fees, and emergency medical evacuation insurance. |
