About Makgadikgadi

The Boteti River forms the western edge of Makgadikgadi Pans National Park in central Botswana, running between the Okavango Delta and the great salt pans. In the dry season thousands of zebra and wildebeest come to the river to drink, along with elephants and hippos. These Makgadikgadi live cams, run by Africam with two riverside lodges, look down on the Boteti.

Which Makgadikgadi webcam to check first

Start with Meno a Kwena, which looks down on the river from a rocky clifftop and is often packed with zebra. Camelthorn watches a waterhole on the river, created during a drought, at the edge of the national park.
