While many think of Kasane as merely a gateway to bigger things, the town and surroundings have much to offer visitors on Kasane safari tours.
Situated on the banks of the beautiful Chobe River, Kasane offers many beautiful accommodation spots in and around the town. Accommodation options on Kasane safari tours range from basic camping to luxury lodges, depending on your budget. Many of the establishments boast spectacular riverside locations.
When you see pictures of sunsets over the river advertising Africa, these are often taken in or on the Chobe River. Numerous Kasane safari operators offer sunset cruises, lasting 2 to 3 hours.
There is nothing more spectacular than watching the sky go orange as the sun sets over the bush, G & T in hand, with only the sounds of the river, African birds and the occassional grunt of a hippo as accompaniment.
Chobe National Park is situated right next to Kasane. This is the oldest national park in Botswana and has one of the most concentrated wildlife populations in Africa.
From the Big Five of Africa to incredible birds, a wide array of antelopes, big cats and plenty of water animals, it's a treat for any visitor. Chobe hosts a huge population of elephants, so don't leave your camera behind!
Just up the hill from FNB in Kasane is the CARACAL Centre. CARACAL stands for 'Centre for African Resource: Animals,Communities and Land use.' The centre is an important hub for education, conservation and rehabilitation of wildlife. They work closely with local communities to improve the lives of both humans and animals.
Visit the centre to learn about their programmes, see whichever visiting orphans/injured animals they have (anything from warthog to cheetah), and marvel at their amazing snake collection.
Enjoy a bathe in the natural mineral waters of the hot springs on your Kasane safari to rejuvenate.
