Lake Makgadikgadi is an ancient lake that existed in what is now the Kalahari Desert in Botswana. It may have once covered as much as 80,000 sq km and been 30 m deep. The Okavango, Zambezi, and Cuando rivers once all emptied into the lake. It began to dry up approximately 10,000 years ago.
Modern-day remnants of the lake include the Okavango Delta, Lake Ngami, and the Makgadikgadi Pan.
