Makadikgadi: Wild Animals Of Botswana | [Predators And Preys Documentary] | Real Wild
Endless, flat, grassy plains with immense salt pans, parched and inhospitable for months - this is the world of Botswana's Makgadikgadi. Southern Africa's massive herds of zebra and wildebeests move eastwards from the Okavango Delta to the Makgadikgadi grasslands along an ancient route dictated by the unpredictable ebb and flow of water. During the harsh arid months, the conflict between man and wild animals rages on. This is the story of the unforgiving and abundant realities of Makgadikgadi.

Makgadikgadi. The largest salt-flats on Earth. Mike Main and Andrew St Pierre White
The Makgadikgadi Pans is a series of salt pans situated in the middle of the dry savanna of north-eastern Botswana, is one of the largest salt flats in the world. The pan is all that remains of the formerly enormous Lake Makgadikgadi, which once covered an area larger than Switzerland, but dried up several thousand years ago.
Lying southeast of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, and surrounded by the Kalahari Desert, Makgadikgadi is technically not a single pan but many pans with sandy desert in between, the largest being Sua (Sowa), Nwetwe and Nxai Pans. The largest individual pan is about 1,900 sq mi (4,921.0 km2). In comparison, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is a single salt flat of 4,100 sq mi (10,619.0 km2), rarely has much water, and is generally claimed to be the world's largest salt pan. A dry salty clay crust most of the year, the pans are seasonally covered with water and grass, and are then a refuge for birds and animals in this very arid part of the world. The climate is hot and dry but with regular annual rains.
Kalahari expert Mike Main explores the area with overland explorer, Andrew St Pierre White. This film was made in 2006.

Kubu Island is a national monument. There are some archaeological artefacts that are found here at Kubu Island, like the ruins that were built some time in the 17th century by the post Great Zimbabweans. The stone wall is circular in shape and one hundred metres in diameter. Also there are some stone cairns which are said to be markers of the initiation schools. Boys were brought here for initiation. This part behind me is where the local people have maintained their shrine. To go back further, to 900 AD, there we saw some traditions from people who were here before the post Great Zimbabweans came in. We can identify this by stone circles, generally on the outcrop. These people stayed here when the pans were full of water all the way along.
Kubu Island, known as Kubu, lies on the western shoreline of the Sua Pan. Coming from Nata, you drive 115 kilometres. Coming from the south, from Orapa, Letlhakane, it’s 78 or 80 kilometres.
Thousands of years ago this pan was an inland lake with water up to 45 metres deep, which means that the whole outcrop was submerged in the water. Because of tectonic movement, the Earth’s surface tilted and the flow of water from the tributaries shifted eastwards towards the Indian Ocean via the Zambezi and Limpopo. The lake then gradually filled up with wind-blown sand until it became as flat and open as we see it today.
The Sua Pan is also a breeding area for lesser and greater flamingos. The nests are just 16 kilometres from Kubu Island.
During the wet months, we see lots of water birds - pelicans, storks, as well as flamingos as I mentioned earlier. These days we see a lot of tourists from the region and tourists from overseas visiting Kubu. Now it is a tourist destination.
There are some baobab trees, like the one over there. There are about 70 baobab trees that can be seen in this small area. We used to have some small ones like the one you can see coming up, but some of them have been dug out by porcupines. Ostrich eggshell beads and pottery fragments or sheds, and there is a small cave where the local people, or the San people who used to stay here or around in this area, used to come and pray for their ancestors and offer things like snuff, pounded tamboti tree log, as well as putting some small animal skins as offerings to their ancestors.
You can see that this baobab has a reddish-pink colour, because of where it is located. You can see that it is not easy for the roots to reach the soil, because the baobab is on top of the rocks. But the good thing about the baobab is that it can live for a long time. You can see how big this is. When the sun rises in the morning, or when the sun sets, the colour of the baobab looks a bit the same, as well as the rocks. That’s why the sunset here at Kubu Island is very special.
Now we have entered the shrine where the local people, especially the San, or the Khoikhoi people, maintained this shrine here. They have been coming here with their traditional healers with offerings for their ancestors as I said earlier. They would offer things like snuff, beads, and animal skins to their ancestors. The weathering of this rock has broken and closed the entrance of the cave. The leader or the traditional healer would take all of the offerings and go into the cave, and leave them there. By doing so, they believed that their ancestors would give them power, in terms of healing when someone is sick, and it would also allow them to collect some fruit here from the baobab trees, and other fruits from this area.

SUnday, 12th January 2020, six of us started our journey at bery early in the morning. This is the rainy season in Botswana. Fortunately we cam across with it while returning back from the park. As we spent quite a time in fiding the main entrance, we could not find enough time to roam every corner of the park. However, the journey was good
