Shakawe
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, 40 km away. For Southern African holiday-makers, it is most often the start of a fishing trip in the Okavango Panhandle. It also provides access to the Caprivi Strip. The record high temperature ever registered in Shakawe was 39.6 °C. The lowest temperature registered in Shakawe was -6.1 °C.

The village is served by Shakawe Airport. It is the gateway to the northern part of the Okavango Delta and the Linyanti area. Direct charter flights are operated to the aerodrome, with the main airline in the area being AirShakawe. Flight is the most efficient form of transport in the area.

Travel by road is slow. Tarred roads have been constructed but have deteriorated over time due to under-maintenance. Bus transport is available to the main city of Maun, but this is a 5-hour travel. The large village has also been connected to the main electric grid. A bridge is also under construction and is due to be finished around the end of 2019. Various lodges and tented camps have been constructed. The main ones are Xaro Lodge, Drotsky's Cabins and Shakawe River Lodge.

Shakawe is growing rapidly starting with two shopping centers or malls. Each mall has a well stocked supermarket. Also had developed a few safari lodges. A new medium-sized shopping center is being constructed.

Flag of Botswana
Botswana (, also ), officially the Republic of Botswana (Lefatshe la Botswana, ), is a landlocked country in Southern Africa. Botswana is topographically flat, with approximately 70 percent of its territory being the Kalahari Desert. It is bordered by South Africa to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west and north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast. It is connected by the Kazungula Bridge to Zambia, across the world’s shortest border between two countries.

A country of slightly over 2.3 million people, Botswana is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world. About 11.6 percent of the population lives in the capital and largest city, Gaborone. Formerly one of the world's poorest countries—with a GDP per capita of about US$70 per year in the late 1960s—it has since transformed itself into an upper-middle-income country, with one of the world's fastest-growing economies.
