The Makgadikgadi Pans are a fascinating place in north-eastern Botswana. During the dry season, very little wildlife can exist in this dry, harsh, desert environment. But following a good rain, the pans become an important migratory route for several species. In fact, one of the largest populations of zebra can be found in the pans at any given time of the year.

Wonderful image, Sean! Great use of Botswana’s big sky & expansive desert. The zebra is such a tiny, yet effective element in this photo. This photo deserves to be on a magazine cover!

Thanks Sue. I always like to go wide when I can. The Pans are quite a place. So silent. And no bugs.
