Sedudu Island
Sedudu / Kasikili
A grassy river island in the Chobe River that every game-viewing boat passes, once the subject of a territorial dispute between Botswana and Namibia.
Sedudu Island, known in Namibia as Kasikili Island, is a low-lying river island in the Chobe River west of Kasane. It is partly flooded in the rainy season and covered in grass in the dry season. Elephants often swim from the banks across to the island, and buffalo, hippos and birds gather there. In 1999, the International Court of Justice ruled that the island belongs to Botswana, and its flag is flown there. Tourists cannot land on the island. Instead, you view it by boat as you circle around, which is usually included in Chobe River cruises.
