Overview

Makgadikgadi Salt PansCommunity TrustBotswana

Kubu Island Campsite is a spectacular wilderness camping destination set on a granite outcrop rising from the vast Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Surrounded by endless white horizons and dotted with ancient baobab trees, the campsite offers breathtaking panoramic views, dramatic sunsets, and some of the best stargazing in Botswana.

This historic and culturally significant site provides a unique off-grid camping experience where visitors can enjoy complete silence, open skies, and an unmatched sense of isolation. With minimal facilities and a pristine natural setting, Kubu Island Campsite is ideal for photographers, adventure travelers, and nature lovers seeking a truly unforgettable desert safari experience.
