Overview

On this four-day excursion, you will discover the world’s largest salt flats (the size of Belgium!) and observe the incredible richness and adaption of any species to the hard environment! It is also home to the mythical Kubu and Kukonje Islands, which contain relics of ancient African kingdoms. Come camp under the stars in the center of the salt pans, one of the world’s darkest places, and view a grove of Baobabs nestled in the pans.
