Game Viewing

The Makgadikgadi National Park consists of 80 000 square kilometers, the destination of herds of migrating Zebra. It has an unspoilt beauty unlike that of any other part of Botswana. Guests can expect to see lion, zebra and wildebeest, however Leroo La Tau also boasts Chobe bushbuck, leopard, brown and spotted hyena, impala, kudu, jackal, porcupine, genet and caracal. There is also the possibility of seeing the rare white rhinoceros. Most unique are the crocodiles and an amazing pod of hippo which have survived in extremely adverse conditions for over 12 years. The hugely contrasting seasons and terrain make this area of the Makgadikgadi a unique haven for large herds and predators alike.
