Space is the new luxury and Migration Expeditions offers just that – the unbelievable calm that comes from gazing at the horizon and having space to yourself. Migration Expeditions is African Bush Camps first property situated in Nxai Pan National Park, Botswana. Nxai Pan is one of Makgadikgadi’s natural salt pans and is located on the northern border of the national park.

Nxai National Park is significant for Botswana’s iconic zebra migration which brings large herds of zebras and other herbivores into the area. The appearance of the migration brings an increase in predator activity.

Activities include visits to Baines’ Baobabs (a cluster of magnificent upside-down trees situated at the edge of Kudiakam Pan. Daily game drives are also on offer and give safari goers the chance to see fantastic migratory birding opportunities, large elephant bulls, the iconic Kalahari lion, cheetah, spotted hyena and oryx.

Located on a beautiful island beside a hippo-filled lagoon in the Okavango Delta, Pom Pom is a long-established camp that offers a haven for several notable animal species. Big cats steal the show in the monthly sighting’s reports. Leopards love to loll about the towering trees while the grasslands remain spotted hyena strongholds, and African wild dogs hunt lechwe along the flooded shores. Wildlife is prolific.

Combine this great game with classic safari tents and a stunning lagoon setting; Pom Pom is the quintessential Okavango Delta camp and is ideal for the safari traditionalist. The camp has nine tented suites with sweeping views of the Okavango scenery and a swimming pool beside the main thatched building. Guests gather at the cosy bar, firepit, lounge and dining area for homely meals prepared by safari chefs.

Activities include off-road and night game drives, nature walks, seasonal mokoro excursions, motorboat safaris, and fishing. During the flood season, mokoro trips depart from the front of the camp. Gliding silently through the lagoon, you'll encounter abundant aquatic life, including Painted reed frogs, African jacanas, malachite kingfishers and more. Motorised boating safaris provide another, more exhilarating means of exploring the enchanting network of channels and lagoons.
