Great to see Bains in the wet! Stayed in the height of summer at campsite 2 between the two trees, beautiful and remote but got swarmed by bees and had to run on to the pans to escape. Had to wait for sunset to return to the car / campsite and light a fire for bees to go away, wonderful memory and still cant wait to go back!
Sounds lke quite and adventure 😄 We enjoyed the feeling of remoteness at the campsite. We should have stayed longer. Next time it will be for a couple of nights.
Thanks. Going in the rainy season is a gamble, we were lucky! Most campsites were completely flooded. We must do a dry season trip to the pans, both our trips have been in the rain.
We try to do all our bookings in advance. The only trip where booked on arrival was in Zimbabwe, and that was mainly because we had difficulty getting the bookings in advance at the national parks. That worked pretty well. For the popular SA, Botswana, and Namibia camp sites, it's essential to book during peak season.

Very enjoyable video. I love Nxai Pan but I've never seen it as wet as that!

Great! Hope the channel will be helpful for your planning.

Where did you get that thing on your dashboard? It's such a great idea. I want one!
The dash cover we have is from Escape Gear, but there are various other brands too. You can find them online. It's very convenient to have.
What's the background music I like the instruments ..
At what time in the video?
To what extent do you commit to advance campsite bookings or do you prefer to book on the fly and at what percentage?

What month did you visit Nxai?
