Stand under the giant Baobabs of Kubu Island

What you'll do

Your knowledgable guide will lead you across the sun-cracked Makgadikgadi Pans to Kubu Island. While it may not be surrounded by water (though it once was in the middle of a lake), the island is a rugged outcrop where mammoth baobabs shoot up from the landscape. Enjoy a walk beneath the towering limbs of these upside-down trees, which feel as ancient as the desert itself. A solitary pocket of life amongst vast salt pans, Kubu Island also holds a long history where artefacts have been uncovered from the early Stone Age. Cameras at the ready!
