Introduction

Chobe National Park

© All Rights Reserved acarrico

Kasane is in the far northeast of Botswana situated on the Chobe River. It is the administrative centre for the Chobe District. It's close to Africa's 'Four Corners' where the borders of four countries almost (but don't quite) meet: Namibia, Zambia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. It is the gateway to those countries as well as to nearby Chobe National Park.

Sights and Activities

The town sits at the northeastern boundary of the Chobe National Park, and is quite often a stop-off for tourists looking to visit the Okavango Delta and the Victoria Falls.

Events and Festivals

Getting There

By Plane

Kasane Airport (BBK) serves a few destinations including Maun and Gaborone in Botswana and Johannesburg in South Africa.

By Car

Kasane is connected by good tarred roads to the rest of Botswana and to the borders with Namibia and Zimbabwe. Getting off the beaten track (for example to Chobe NP) requires a 4wd vehicle though.

By Bus

There are minibuses to Maun and Francistown, leaving when full. Also, there are transfers by minibus in the morning to Victoria Falls (2 hours), some of them organised by lodges and for guests only.

By Boat

Although not immediately starting in Kasane, the nearby river crossing to Zambia by the Kazungula Ferry is an option often used by travellers who don't want to travel through Zimbabwe.
