Nxai Pan is auniquely styled camp, overlooking a waterhole, on the edge of the Nxai Pan. Newly opened in February 2009, Nxai Pan is the only permanent camp within Nxai Pan National Park and is perfectly placed for guests wanting to visit this unique and beautiful area.
Nxai Pan is a fossil lake-bed and therefore the landscape is largely covered by grassland, dotted with clusters of Acacia trees, with some mopane woodland in the north. During the rains, the pans become covered in grass and attract huge herds of antelope, and in turn predators.
The main lounge area is slightly raised off the ground and connected by wooden walkways to the rooms. The main area contains a viewing deck, lounge, dining area, library, curio shop and swimming pool. Nxai Pan is solar powered with a generator back-up.
Nxai Pan is situated in the tree line and features eight desert rooms with ensuite facilities (one family room and seven twin rooms). The rooms are thatched with solid insulated walls to stay cool in heat and warm in the cold, essential for the fluctuating temperatures of the Kalahari. All units have ceiling fans, outside showers and private viewing decks. The rooms and the main lounge area are all slightly raised off the ground and connected by wooden walkways. Nxai Pan Camp can accommodate a maximum of 18 guests.
