Watch majestic bull elephants in the warm evening light

The main waterhole in Nxai Pan National Park offers the best wildlife viewing all year round. In the middle of the wide open pan, several bull elephants gather in the evening to drink while the setting sun makes the sky glow in spectacular colours. The pumped waterhole ensures that there is always plenty of water and therefore excellent sightings.

Imagine several bull elephants standing at the waterhole, crowding around the pipe through which the fresh water is pumped. The far-reaching view across the pan lets you spot zebras, wildebeest and giraffes from afar before they arrive at the waterhole.

It is most beautiful if you come to the waterhole in the afternoon. Drive up in your car, switch off the engine and wind down the windows. Enjoy the impressive animals in peace and experience the magic of the sunset behind the bull elephants.
