Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

What an amazing place. The number of Boabab trees was astonishing.there were very few animals about but we managed to observe a couple of jackal. Unfortunately there were a lot of flies when we were there. Well worth the effort to get there. Amazing sunset and sunrise.

The drive from Nata took 4 hours, don't take to first route. Very deep sand and ruts. No problem but exhausting.
Arrived to find the place full of rubbish and many flies that just don't leave you alone.
The long drops have clearly had no regular maintenance as there were stacks of bottles full of urine.
Just because they are long drops doesn't mean the toilet part shouldn't be clean.
Too tired and irritating by flies to enjoy the place at all.
Noisy very large group next to us. We forfeited our 2nd night, drove to Gweta, got a pitch at Planet Baobab, lovely. No flies. Road to labelled bad road on T4A, not such a bad road but terrible to navigate as the villagers have built over the tracks and cows have obliterated any sign of tracks.

Wanted to do a day drive to Kubu Island. Took ages in the trust office to pay and get access. The computers weren't working and we tried to help them. Then we drove to the lookout deck. This was in a shocking state of repair. The wood planks were rotten and it was badly designed so a tall person like in our party hit his head on a part of a jutting out roof structure as you got to the top of the staircase. The road ahead looked rocky, and this first part was so disappointing we decided not to go any further. When we got back to the office to tell them we were departing there was a new Manager that we were introduced to. We explained our experience and he was surprised, but also admitted that he had never been down the road. Only been in the office. For one of Botswana main attractions this really needs to be addressed.

We read about a place that is supposed to be magical and beautiful. Even the journey by car over the salt pans is supposed to be very mystical. We drove almost 120 km from Gweta on a very bumpy and sandy track through the bush. You only drive very short distances on the salt pans. When we arrived, we paid €20 per person per night. The campsites, twelve in total, are all on the land side and do not have a view of the salt pans. There is little shade and there are no showers. People are also happy to do without the outhouse and unfortunately the bushes turned out to be public toilets. In the morning you are woken up by helicopters flying around Kubu Island. Kubo Island has become an Instagram hotspot that is anything but magical. It is not worth a trip for a photo of a construction site. Our return journey then took us to Nata. This route was even more terrible and bumpy than the route from Gweta.

During our Epic Trans-Africa self-drive adventure in a 4L 4-Wheel Drive Land Cruiser with the Tent on the Roof we visited this place.
I had managed to squeeze in a ONE night stop to capture the Sights - Complete with my Camera Gear, Lenses Combinations, Videos Cameras, iPADs, iPODs, and Tripods, I was ready for the Photo Opp to beat the band.
I did not bargain on spending 4 hrs rescuing 3 x 30 something Knuckleheads in a 2-Front-Wheel drive White Toyota, from out on the mud flats, way off the clear heavily used and marked hard surface tracks, where they had got stuck after doing some donuts. I will refrain from profanity and vulgar language, but it is tough.
Shovel, Sand Tracks, Tow Rope, Winch, Logs and Sticks were ALL put to good use. Thank you to the Aussie who came to help too - I do not recall your name.
I did not get a Single Shot of that Sunset or Night Sky, or, for that matter, a simple Thank You. Incredible, but true. Some Folks really should stay Home.
Why did I do it ? Believe me I have asked myself that Question a hundred times. Guess I must be getting soft.
Site - Cool.
Ablutions - fine for where you are.
Catering - Self
Essential - Total self-sufficiency
Accommodation - Tent and slept like an exhausted log
Driving - Tough but not impossible (we were in the Dry Season)
In Summary - rated Excellent because the experience was just that. The Rescue Issue was not Kubbu Island's fault. Just irresponsible birdbrains.

I'm just absolutely gobsmacked that this place has such high reviews. People go to Botswana to see wildlife and they usually have to drive pretty far to the campsites, This drive took it to all new levels unforeseen for the whole world. Not only getting there really sucked, the signs lie about how many kilometers it takes to get there (72 km sign says actually 100 km!) and on the tire got awful drive there was no wildlife , but just cattle and lots of it!. I should have read the description before you attempted to get there. Seriously whose world travelers itinerary is to see a bunch of rocks and fossilized bird poop?! No thanks so I turned around and went to another campsite more to my taste. On top of that, a friend of ours went there and said there's no ablutions and the wind was so bad that they had to physically hold the tent all night long so it wouldn't blow away and there were two strangers that drove around the camp at 2:00 a.m. in a pickup truck. This is the worst campsite of all of Botswana. I don't get these people thinking it's good. It is God awful. If you want to see a bunch of cattle and drive to eternity for something that serves absolutely no point other than a lot of wind no water, ablutions ( not even those buckets you fill) and no toilet then to each his own

Après une longue route et de piste et devant de très jolis paysages nous arrivons devant cette étendue de sel et des baobabs millénaires. Tout est calme sans un bruit c est un instant suspendu que l on apprécié il fait déjà très chaud et une petite pause s impose notre guide sabbah nous propose café thé petites pâtisseries et on se demande comment ces baobabs majestueux ont traverser le temps . Nous repartons par la mm piste nous mangerons la poussière nous prendrons un orage phénoménal croiserons les animaux au plus près arriverons trempés au camp mais quelle journée riche et depaysante.

Sehr gepflegte komfortable Anlage, eher Lodge als Camp, direkt am Boteti gelegen mit schöner Dachterrasse und Blick auf den Blick auf den gegenüberliegenden Makgadikgadi-Nationalpark. Klimaanlage, guter Service.

We visited 25 years ago and were amazed again about the beauty of this utterly remote place. It is surely worth a visit once in a lifetime. Very sad that elephants have damaged some of the ancient Baobab trees. The reception area was deserted, but staff came to collect our camping fee, as we had not booked. The pit toilets were amazingly clean and water in big containers are provided for flushing. There is no water or electricity available, so you have to be totally selfsufficient. Your vehicle is your lifeline here and should be in a good condition as a breakdown may result in waiting days for other vehicles to pass. Roads are only tracks but in reasonable condition this time of the year, as many vehicles have compacted the tracks. Do NOT attemt to visit in the rainy season or shortly after when pans are tsill wet, you WILL certainly get stuck !!

We have travelled all over Botswana and this was our favourite sight until now. We had the chance of being alone there. We drove there ourselves, 4WD, lousy gps but an app brought us there without a problem

Hello.
I’m looking to do a self driving trip in December with 5 vehicles and 13 people
14th Nxai Pan Park
15th Kubu Island
16,17th Makgadigadi game reserve
18,19th third bridge , South Gate
I’m concerned about campsites being closed especially Kubu Island somewhere I’ve always wanted to go.
I’d like to drive from Nxai Pan to kubu from Gweta , is that possible ?.
Skrevet 28. november 2018
Hi, we plan to visit here, so is it possible to drive there with 2*4 car???
Skrevet 9. mars 2018
We are going to KUBU Island and would like to know if we need a permit and where we can get them. As we are touring Namibia and Botswana we do not know our exact dates - if there a possibility to get the Permit in Maun? Tks for your help.
Skrevet 18. mai 2017
We camped on Kubu last week. You don't need a permit in advance but once you get to the gate you supposed to pay 50 Pula per person to enter the park but that's only if someone is actually even at the gate. Careful of Moola the park ranger on the island as he attempted to rip us off by charging twice the camping fee. The island is magical and completely worth going out there!

Hi, we are planning also a selfdrive in november and woulk like to camp at Kubu Island. Do you need to make a reservation in advance or can you just drive to Kubu Island and camp there. It seems very hard finding good information about the camp at Kubu Island and how to even make a reservation.
Skrevet 5. mars 2017
You can contact the Botswana tourism the booking is done through them but there are quite a few camp sites and an office to assist. You must take your own water even for shower. Very basic rather non existent ablution facilities

Where did you stay in Kubu Island?
The amail address of the campsite (kubu.island@botsnet.bw) seems not to be working.
Thanks
Skrevet 16. juli 2016
I assume there is no electricity available
is there water available as well as an ablution facility to shower and toilet
Is the island accessible from Gwete side
Skrevet 16. mai 2016
I hope to get to Kubu Island from Nata, but drivers I've been in contact with charge 1500p/$150 minimum, and I'm not finding any car rental agencies in Nata. Does anyone know of a more affordable means of getting to Kubu Island from Nata? I could start from Gweta, as well. Thanks.

Hi, has anyone been to Kubu Island from Orapa? how many hours would it take to get there? And would towing an off-road caravan be okay?
