Between Kasane and Kazangula, opposite Chobe Farm, can be found one of the greatest mysteries of this region. In the Nyungwe Valley, a natural corridor for animals to reach the Chobe River, hot water springs have formed from the gradual infiltration of the water through underground volcanic rocks. The rarity of this phenomenon in Botswana has given rise to a number of beliefs and the inhabitants regularly use the water for medicinal purposes.

The Kasane region is an ideal destination for amateur fishermen. Whether on the Zambezi River, the Chobe River or the Kasai Canal, the waters teem with fish like the famous tigerfish, bream, the nembwe or the tilapia.

Located on the heights of Kasane the Caracal Biodiversity Center has as its mission the promotion, development and support of conservation and research programmes.
