Migration Expeditions Camp detail

Migration Expeditions immerses travelers in Botswana’s remote, pristine Makgadikgadi Pan. The camp’s location in the Nxai Pan National Park provides access to one of the best-kept secrets in African safaris: the zebra migration. With a prime position along the 1000km migratory route between Namibia and Botswana, Migration Expeditions promises exceptional game viewing and plenty of predator-prey interaction during this spectacle.

Nxai Pan National Park is known for its large elephant bulls, black-maned Kalahari lion, cheetah, spotted hyena, oryx, wildebeest, and a wealth of migratory birds. Guests will spot these animals – and perhaps a few of the less common leopard, wild dog, and brown hyena – during morning and afternoon game drives in the park. There’s also an opportunity to take a half-day excursion to explore Baines’ Baobabs, a thicket of Africa’s iconic Tree of Life at the edge of Kudiakam Pan.

Accommodating just 12 guests, who can arrive by road or air during the rainy summer season (December to March), Migration Expeditions is intimate yet accessible. After days immersed in the African landscape, the stylish bush camp is the ideal place to enjoy dinner before relaxing around the fire circle to share safari stories.

Rooms

Standard Tent

The seasonal camp is made up of six Meru-style tents built on low decks. Each tent has an en suite bathroom with a flush toilet, basin, and classic bucket shower (camp staff supply hot water on request). The tents have solar-powered lights and can be made up with either twin beds or a double bed.

Facilities

The main camp area consists of two open-sided canvas tents that house the dining and lounge areas. Enjoy a meal aside the open kitchen before settling down with a good book or boardgame on the plush sofas in the lounge area. The fire circle, which extends the lounge outdoors, is the perfect spot for socializing and sharing safari stories at the end of an exciting day. And there’s no need to worry about getting dusty during your excursions, as the camp offers a complimentary next-day laundry service.

Dining

Guests are treated to three wholesome meals a day while staying at Migration Expeditions. The day begins with a light breakfast around the fire, while lunch and dinner are served at a communal table in the dining tent or out under the stars, depending on the weather. Tea, coffee, soft drinks, and local alcoholic beverages are all included.
