In October 2021, my best friend, JI de Wet and I, embarked on an epic two week-long Botswana overlanding adventure we dubbed The Botswana Trip. During this trip we visited three of Botswana’s wildest and most beautiful places, namely: Kubu Island, Nxai Pan National Park and the Khwai Concession north of Moremi.

In Episode 1 of The Botswana Trip, we visit the remote Kubu Island in the heart of the Makgadikgadi Pans to photograph its iconic baobab trees. Kubu Island is one of Botswana’s most popular self-drive and overlanding destinations and has a rustic campsite with 12 very basic stands.

In this episode, we pack JI’s Toyota Fortuner D4D, Frikkie; we stay over at Khama Rhino Sanctuary; and ultimately, we spend two unforgettable days at Kubu Island where we spend every afternoon and morning, plus most of the night, taking photos of baobab trees and the Milky Way. JI even runs 16 kilometers around Kubu Island!
