About Banyini Pan Viewpoint

Banyini Pan Viewpoint overlooks one of the distinctive seasonal wetlands of the Makuleke area in northern Kruger. After good rains, the pan can fill into an expansive lake-like wetland, attracting an exceptional variety of waterbirds and wildlife, while in dry periods much of the pan can become open grassland. The changing character of Banyini makes it a particularly rewarding place for birding and landscape viewing.
