“Planet Baobab” the Baobab capital of the world and home
of the Kalahari Surf Club!
The average age of each tree; 4000 years and beyond, the boundless
salt pans of the Makgadikgadi, a lunar landscape the size of
Switzerland.
Thankfully, the funkiest bar in the Kalahari awaits your
pleasure, a well known watering hole for travellers of every
description and the more colourful characters from Maun. At any one
time, locals jostle the cross-continentals who have slogged it through
the bush, and worse, to get here. Just a stone's throw from all this
beer and bustle is the elephant's paddling pool. Oblivious to Guests
crouching in the nearby trees, the elephants and travellers mostly
ignore each other.
At Planet Baobab, you can sleep in traditionally styled
Bakalanga huts with en suite showers, curl up in a Bushmen hut
complete in every detail.
Base yourself here and you can take guided walks and quad
bike trips into the bush and the Pans with our expert Guides
discovering the geological origins of what was once the world's
largest ever super lake.
Follow the palm trail created by elephant droppings as these
ancient creatures trekked across the arid waste when the super lake
dried up. Pick up, (and replace!), thousand year old flint spear heads
left by the Stone Age hunters who were the region’s first
inhabitants.
Experience the world of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency:
Learn the African handshake from the Batswana in the cattle posts and
villages near to Planet Baobab and discover how Botswana continues to
be one of the most successful and interesting societies in Southern
Africa.
Enjoy a cuppa of Mma Ramotse’s famous red bush tea with the grande
dames of Gweta and, if you are really adventurous... sample some
sizzling 100% organic traditional sorghum beer... mmmmmmm!
At every stage and at every turn of this voyage you will hear
traveller’s tales from guides and companions who know and love this
place.
Best of all, if you are very lucky, you can overnight on the Pans under the most spectacular night skies in the world, enjoying a barbecue of a lifetime.
Curl up under a canopy of stars - a light that
you cannot switch off. No wonder Planet Baobab is also known as Base
Boomerang – our Guests keep coming back.
In a continent that is full of surprises, and a place that is full of
nothing, Planet Baobab is really something.
