Zebra migration to Nxai Pan
Africa's longest zebra migration reaches the Kalahari pans with the first rains, and the grass greens fast.
59 days until the next window
What happens when you set this watch
We track every fare from your airport into Maun for December 5 to March 30, 2027, round trips of 4 to 9 nights, across every airline. The moment one drops, you get one email with the dates, the price and a link to book. Free, and you can stop any time.
Know before you go
- The rains set the timing; a late wet season delays the herds.
- Sand and mud need a 4x4 with recovery gear, or take the camps' transfers.
- Nxai Pan is about two and a half hours east of Maun by 4x4, or a short light-aircraft transfer to the camps.
