Kubu Island is one of Botswana’s most iconic natural landmarks, rising dramatically from the vast Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. This ancient granite outcrop is surrounded by endless white salt flats and is home to centuries-old baobab trees, creating a landscape unlike anywhere else in Africa.

Regarded as a sacred site by local communities, Kubu Island offers visitors a peaceful escape where nature, history, and culture come together. It is a popular destination for photography, camping, birdwatching, and stargazing, with spectacular sunrises, sunsets, and some of the clearest night skies in Botswana.

Accessible by 4×4 vehicle, Kubu Island is best visited during the dry season when road conditions are favourable. Whether you’re exploring the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans or seeking a unique wilderness experience, Kubu Island promises unforgettable scenery and a true sense of adventure.
