Located just a few kms away from Gweta, Planet Baobab is ideally located for those driving from Maun to Kasane, or into South Africa.  It's part of the classy Uncharted Africa group and this is the perfect destination for those that can't afford the prices of Jack's Camp but still get into the opportunity to experience the magnificence of the pans. 

There is a choice of accommodation in "Bakalanga huts" (en-suite mud hut style)or camping with shared ablution facilities.  There is a unique bar/restaurant area and a great swimming pool.  Planet Baobab provides an ideal base to explore the surrounding pans and activities include quad bike trips, overnight sleep outs, village visits and plenty more - enough to keep you occupied whether you travel through here for just one night or spend 2-3 nights.
