Kasane Airport (BBK) has been serving northern Botswana and Chobe National Park since the mid-20th century and operates from a single compact terminal that handles both scheduled services and safari charters. This small but important regional gateway links Kasane to Gaborone, Maun and nearby safari lodges, with regular flights from Air Botswana and a variety of regional and charter operators; it is also a popular departure point for small-plane safaris. The airport sits just outside Kasane town and is easily reached by road, taxis or shuttle from lodges and from Victoria Falls (about a 1–1.5 hour drive). Travelers typically find scheduled flights reasonably affordable, though private safari charters from BBK can be costly.
Expect one ATM in the arrivals hall and no currency desk, with better options and rates just a short ride away in Kasane town. Withdraw a little pula on arrival, then use town banks to exchange USD/EUR/ZAR or make larger withdrawals to avoid fees and post‑flight queues.
Pick up last‑minute safari souvenirs and duty‑free staples at Kasane’s compact shop inside the international departures lounge, where liquor and tobacco often undercut town prices. Hours follow the flight schedule, and access is limited to departing international passengers.
Small and straightforward, Kasane’s food scene centers on two to three outlets — a landside coffee counter and an airside café — serving toasted sandwiches, pastries, and the occasional hot plate. Expect coffee around 25–40 Pula and simple meals 90–150 Pula (a touch pricier than in town), with local bites like boerewors rolls or stew with pap when available.
Quick medical help is close at hand: staff can arrange first-aid support in the compact terminal during flight hours, and full‑service pharmacies are just 5–10 minutes away in Kasane town. Basic assistance is usually free; medications and clinic visits are paid.
Need to stash a bag before a Chobe cruise or a game drive? Kasane’s compact terminal offers staffed left‑luggage at the information/baggage desk during daytime hours—no lockers, but it’s safe, simple, and easy on the wallet.
Settle into simple, sunlit seating in Kasane’s tiny terminal, with Wi‑Fi, power points and a calm departures hall to wait in peace. There’s no public lounge, but safari guests may be invited into small private rooms; the airport closes overnight, so plan to rest at a nearby lodge.
