Suggested Duration: 4 hours

Baines' Baobabs, standing proudly amidst the vast salt pans of Nxai Pan National Park in Botswana, captivate visitors with their timeless majesty and stark beauty. These towering, bulbous trees, immortalized by 19th-century artist Thomas Baines, rise from the ivory landscape, offering a striking contrast to the immense, barren plains. As one of the most iconic and resilient symbols of the African wilderness, Baines' Baobabs not only provide a cool refuge from the harsh Kalahari sun but also link travelers to a rich historical tapestry of exploration and artistry. Their grandeur against the sweeping expanse of Nxai Pan makes them a breathtaking natural spectacle and a poignant reminder of the region's storied past.

It is an amazing place with a magical feeling. One of the best experience we had in Botswana. Very far away from everything and you are out in the wild. You have to like it but definitely worth to have a night there. The way to go there is quite sandy but part of the experience. We stayed at Nxai south camp afterwards so a good combo for two or more nights. Book in advance if you would like to stay there and ask about the way at the gate. Otherwise just enjoy this amazing and beautiful place.
