Nxai Pan National Park, Salt pan national park in northeastern Botswana.

The national park spreads across 2,578 square kilometers, featuring grass plains, mopane woodlands, and salt flats surrounded by umbrella acacia trees.

In 1992, the territory expanded to include Baines Baobabs, transforming from a game reserve established in 1970 into a national park.

The park bears the name Nxai, derived from a traditional metal hook tool used by local inhabitants to catch springhares.

The park includes two public camping grounds with facilities near the entrance gate, while informal camping is permitted at Baines Baobabs without amenities.

During the rainy season from December to April, thousands of zebras migrate to the area and give birth on the grasslands.
