GENERAL INFORMATION:

Planet Baobab is 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.  

ACCOMMODATION:

At Planet Baobab, you can sleep in traditionally styled Bakalanga huts with en suite showers, curl up in a Baobab hut which share the best ablution blocks you'll ever see or pitch your tent, or park your 4 x 4.

You can light your own camp fire, or gather round the communal blaze in the lelwapa and enjoy a cool drink, then sling your own boerewors onto the fire or enjoy Planet Baobab's unique Pan-African cuisine.

ACTIVITIES:

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. 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!
