Following the Wetlands Stamp issues for the Okavango and the Chobe, BotswanaPost is proud to recognise the Makgadikgadi and Nxai National parks.

Located in the east central region and covering 12,000 square kilometres, the salt pans of the Makgadikgadi and Nxai impact greatly on Botswana's phisical appearance. The two pans making up the Makgadikgadi region the Ntwetwe and the Sowa, are the largest of their kind in the world. Most of the year these pans are bone dry, but when the summer rains come, this salty wildeness undergoes a transformation. Countless waterbirds, including pelicans and enormous flocks of flamingos are drawn to the shallow sheets of water.
