Discover everything about this accommodation
Kubu Island lies in the south-western part of Sua Pan, within the Makgadikgadi salt pans. The campsite is basic, which leaves very little between you and the landscape. You camp among baobabs and large granite rocks, with the open pan on every side.
After sunset, the night sky takes over. With so little around to interrupt the view, the Milky Way becomes part of the setting described on the source page.
The name Kubu reaches back into the history of the pans.
Kubu Island takes its name from the hippos that once lived here. Kubu means hippo in Setswana. The salt pans themselves are the remains of a lake that covered a large part of this region millions of years ago. According to the source page, water that now flows over Victoria Falls once fed this vast lake.
