Although Gweta is a relatively small village, the city doesn’t let its size get in the way of greatness. It is considered to be the gateway to the gigantic Makgadikgadi pans and has become renowned for its monumental Baobabs and being in proximity to the second largest migration of wildlife in the world.

Gweta’s famous Baobab Trees are some of the largest in the world. In fact they are so large that they have become national monuments. Awe-inspiring due to the sheer enormousness of the plants they are worth taking a look at. One of the biggest attraction in Gweta is Greens Baobab which is located just 27 kilometres south of Gweta. This Baobab Tree was inscribed hundreds of years ago by some of South Africa’s most famous hunters, traders and explorers including Fredrick Thomas Green whose inscription can be seen still be seen on the plants bark today. Only 11 kilometres south of that, is the location of the largest Baobab with a circumference of an astounding 25 meters.
