The Nata Bird Sanctuary is at the mouth of the Nata River and offers major conservation to birds, it is part of the Makgadikgadi Pans Important Bird Area. The sanctuary was founded in 1992 with the goal to preserve wildlife, especially bird species such that with some good rains you will find hundreds of thousands of Lesser Flamingos, along with Greater Flamingos, Chestnut-banded Plovers, Great White and Pink-backed Pelicans. The sanctuary is home to about 165 bird species. Nata Bird Sanctuary is a community-managed project, jointly managed by four local societies: Nata, Maphosa, Sepako and Manxotae. These communities share proceeds from the sanctuary (entry fees and revenue from the campsites) for development projects voted on together.
Visitors can stay over at Nata Lodge or on the campsite close to the park entrance. For more information visitors can contact the Nata Conservation Trust.
