All about Kasane
When to Visit
Kasane is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is during the dry season, from May to October. This period is ideal for wildlife enthusiasts, as the animals gather around waterholes, making sightings more frequent and easier. The temperatures are warmer but not unbearable. If you're keen on seeing the lush greenery of Kasane and the surrounding areas, the rainy season from November to April provides a different charm with fewer tourists and vibrant landscapes, though some wildlife may be harder to spot due to dispersed water sources.
Getting Around
Getting around Kasane is relatively easy, with a variety of transport options available. Most visitors prefer 4x4 safari vehicles to explore the Chobe National Park, as many areas require off-road access. There are also boat cruises available for wildlife viewing along the Chobe River, a popular way to see elephants and hippos in their natural habitat. For more convenient travel within the town, taxis, shuttle services, and rented vehicles are available. Kasane is well-connected by road and air, with domestic flights landing at the Kasane Airport, which is a short drive from the town center.
Traveler Tips
When visiting Kasane, don’t forget to pack lightweight, neutral-colored clothing for safari activities. The weather can get quite hot, so bring sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water to stay hydrated. If you're planning on a boat cruise, bring a camera to capture the wildlife and stunning scenery. Be mindful of local customs and respect the environment, especially during safaris. In some areas, Wi-Fi and mobile coverage may be limited, so plan accordingly. It's also a good idea to book safaris and boat trips in advance to secure your spot, especially during peak season.
