Kasane is a small town in the extreme north of Botswana, overlooking the Chobe river close to its confluence with the Zambezi.
Although essentially not an unattractive place, neither is Kasane somewhere most people would go out of their way to visit.
In recent years this previously sleepy frontier town has become increasingly dominated by large mass-market hotels, which between them manage to generate enough visitors to completely overrun the previously wonderful stretch of the Chobe Waterfront that runs westward from the town.
Trips containing both Livingstone and Okavango naturally pass through here, but we generally recommend skipping Kasane itself in order to concentrate time in areas which continue to be able to offer a less contaminated wilderness experience.
