Nxai Pan is a grassy pan and its grasses attract large numbers of game after the rains. In the dry season game the waterholes are the focal point. The waterhole is worth spending time at, especially late in the afternoon. Nxai Pan is where the IMAX film “Roar - Lions of the Kalahari” was made, and much of the footage was shot here.
The roads around Nxai Pan itself are smooth, and most of the roads around the pan are good for game viewing. Wildlife seen at Nxai includes both impala and springbok (the only place in the country where these two species occur naturally together). Predators are common too as well as giraffe and smaller game such as jackal and bat-eared fox.
The campsite - South Camp - is situated on the edge of the pan around a grove of tall shady trees, and the two ablution blocks provide hot showers and flush toilets.

Within the Chobe National Park, Savuti is perhaps one of the best known game-viewing areas in the country. Under ideal conditions the number and variety of animals seen can be quite staggering.
The Savuti area supports mainly Camelthorn (Acacia erioloba) sandveld, Silver Terminalia (Terminalia sericea) sandveld, scrub savanna, and mopane veld. Savuti's almost desert-like landscape with a scorching sun, loose, hot sand, animals escaping the heat by clumping together in the limited available shade, and elephants impatiently lining up to get to the ever-dwindling water supply, offer a wildlife experience so different, yet so true to Africa. It is almost impossible to imagine that this desolate, harsh landscape was once submerged beneath an enormous inland sea. Geologically the five main features of Savuti (namely the Magwikhwe Sand Ridge, the Mababe Depression, the Savuti Marsh with its dead trees, the Rocky Outcrops, and the Savuti Channel) are all intricately linked in the most fascinating manner.
