In recent years, there have been a few sightings of wild dog and rhino in the area, however, one is more likely to have the pleasure of seeing the quirky bat-eared fox, persistent honey badger, inquisitive brown hyena, and perched on many trees in the area, the common pale-chanting goshawk. Nxai Pan National Park is a great birder’s retreat, offering many desert species often seen in very few other places. From seasonally migratory eagles through to several species of resident kestrel, it is a great place to tick off many new birds.
