Kubu Island

Kubu Island

Kubu Island (Ga’nnyo) is a dry granite rock island located in the Makgadikgadi Pan area of Botswana. The Makgadikgadi Pan is a large salt pan in northern Botswana, the largest salt flat complex in the world. These salt pans cover approximately 16,000 km² and form the bed of the ancient Lake Makgadikgadi that began evaporating millennia ago.

The island is located a few kilometers away from Orapa and Letlhakane mining towns and can be accessed through Mmatshumo in the Boteti district. The entire island is a national monument, and is considered a sacred site by the indigenous people of the area.
