Kubu Island, also known as Lekhubu Island, is a mystical granite rock formation located in the heart of Botswana's Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, one of the largest salt flats in the world. This ancient, dry island is surrounded by vast, shimmering salt pans, creating an otherworldly landscape that feels both desolate and enchanting. Kubu Island is steeped in history and culture, with numerous boulders adorned with ancient rock paintings and remnants of stone structures believed to have been built by early inhabitants. The island's baobab trees, some over a thousand years old, stand as silent sentinels, adding to the island's timeless atmosphere. Visitors to Kubu Island are captivated by its surreal beauty, especially at sunrise and sunset when the golden light creates a magical aura over the salt pans.
