Rising no more than 20m above the Sowa Pan, this national monument with its fossil beaches, stunted baobab trees and mysterious stone walls, leave and indelible impression upon all who visit its water-worn shores. This scrap of rock and its ghostly baobab trees is surrounded by the sea of salt.
It is the most famous of all islands in the Makgadikgadi.
The magnificent view over the pan from the island was perfectly described by Mike Main in his book “Kalahari”: "All about you spreads the harsh glaring
surface, but in the middle distance the pan is clothed in a somber symphony of muted grays and whites, toned up or down by the shadows of passing clouds, and merging at the horizon into a simple harmony of cobalt blue and gray".
Kubu Island, Makgadikgadi, Botswana
The island is littered with artifacts from other ages: Stone-Age cutting tools, shards of pottery at least 2000 years old, and the remains of a low, circular
wall.
