A recent camping trip to Botswana I visited the famed Kubu Island.
The Makgadikgadi Pan is a large salt pan in northern Botswana, the largest salt flat complex in the world. These salt pans cover approximately 16,000 km2 and form the bed of the ancient Lake Makgadikgadi that began evaporating millennia ago. The name Kubu means either "large rock" in Kalanga language[1] or hippopotamus in Tswana. Local Khoe people call the site Ga'nnyo. Archaeological recovery in the Makgadikgadi has revealed the presence of prehistoric humans through abundant finds of stone tools; some of these tools have been dated sufficiently early to establish their origin as earlier than the era of Homo sapiens. Island contains also dry stone wall which is up to 1.25 m high and 344 circular stone cairns.
