Kubu Island Tourist Information

Kubu Island

Kubu Island is especially eerie, as the vistas of salt flats extend to the horizon. Large baobab trees dot the island, which at the north end looks much like a ship's prow. A circular stone wall and about 70 small stone cairns can be seen at the south end of the island. Some archaeologists believe this enclosure was used as an initiation site by 14th-century Zimbabwe peoples. Several typical Zimbabwe ruins are situated around the east and southern edges of the salt pan. If you visit the island, which can only be reached by four-wheel-drive vehicles, be very careful of the salt, which is so soft when wet that it can literally "swallow" a vehicle down to the wheel wells in a few seconds. Consumption of the "salt" on the pan is not advisable because it can cause diarrhea. About 310 mi/500 km north of Gaborone.
