Exploring the Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana – A different type of safari

Sunday, 26 January 2020 by Juan Martinez
meerkats at Makgadikgadi Pans in Botswana
Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Pans are desolate, vast, and for us, almost inhospitable. Still, wildlife survives, and it can be observed like in any other place on earth. When I though about visiting the largest salt flat area in the world, I never thought I would be able to see thousands of zebras, wildebeest and even elephants.

7 ways to save money while traveling in the United States

Tuesday, 19 January 2016 by Featured post
