Kubu Island, Paradise By The Baobabs

Updated: Nov 17, 2023


Get ready to see tones of footage about my crossing into the Makgadikgadi Pans and my stay at Kubu island.


Although I had to deal with noisy and -environment- careless overlanders, I will never forget about my stay there, under the giant baobab trees. MAGICAL.


A little bit of history:


Makgadikgadi pan is one of the largest salt flats in the world covering approximately 16,000 sq km. The pans are the dried out remains of a huge superlake which covered most of central Botswana several millions of years ago. Climate change, earthquakes and the diversion of rivers starved this lake of its water supply, causing it to shrink and disappear into flat depressions of grey clay and salt.
