SD 08 – Kubu Island Getaway
 Dates:
6 August 2010 - 9 August 2010
s: Cost (per person):
R2 500.00
( All prices are subject to changes )
Destination: Zambia, Zimbabwe
Synopsis: Rising no more
than 20m above the Sowa
Pan, this national monument with its fossil beaches,
stunted baobab trees and mysterious stone walls, leaves an
indelible impression upon all who visit its water-worn
shores. This scrap of rock and its ghostly baobab trees is
surrounded by the sea of salt. In cool weather, this
bizarre sight can make visitors feel like castaways on an
alien planet. The real name of the island, but less known,
is Lekhubu (meaning ridge in Setswana). It is the most
famous of all the rock islands in the Makgadikgadi.
Most of the rock islands in this area are remnants of
ancient sand dunes.
Kubu
Island
is different in that it is one of the scatterings of
granite islands.
Many of Kubu's rocks
are stained white with fossilized bird droppings. This
ancient guano is called apatite and bears testimony to a
large bird population that used to live on the island,
feeding off the fish of the waters that surrounded their
rocky knoll.
