Gweta- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Gweta is a small village located 205 kilometers from Maun and 100 kilometers from Nata, serving as the gateway to the vast Makgadikgadi Pans. Known for its towering Baobab trees, some of the largest in the world, Gweta offers a glimpse into the region's unique natural wonders. Notable among these is Greens Baobab, inscribed by historic explorers and traders like Frederick Thomas Green, and a nearby colossal Baobab with a circumference of 25 meters. The village is also a prime base for experiencing one of the largest wildlife migrations in the world, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross the salt pans during the rainy season. The Makgadikgadi is also home to a rich array of birdlife, flamingos, and unique amphibians like bullfrogs, whose croaking gives the village its name.
