Kasane.

What to do in Kasane Chobe District Botswana

Kasane functions as a working river hub rather than a traditional resort town. Days start before dawn for game drives into Chobe National Park via Sedudu Gate, ease into quiet midday siestas when the heat settles over President Avenue, and finish on the water. It suits wildlife enthusiasts, self-drive overlanders with four-wheel-drives, and travellers heading across borders into Namibia or Zimbabwe.
