Shakawe

is a village located in the northwest corner of Botswana at the beginning of the Okavango Delta, close to Namibia and Angola.

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.

Direct charter flights are operated to the aerodrome, with the main airline in the area being AirShakawe.

[citation needed] Shakawe is growing rapidly starting with two shopping centers or malls.
