Overview
Shakawe is a village located in the northwest corner of Botswana at the beginning of the Okavango Delta, close to Namibia and Angola. Shakawe is awakening from its former status as a sleepy little outpost on the Okavango. For travellers, Shakawe means a Botswana entry or exit stamp or a staging post for a visit to the Tsodilo Hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 40 km away. For Southern African holiday-makers, it is most often the start of a fishing trip in the Okavango Panhandle.
