Gweta
Geography and History
Gweta is a little old village about 205 km from Maun and 100 km from Nata. This trivial place is considered the gateway to the Makgadikgadi Pans.
Gweta derived its name from the sound of croaking bullfrogs which bury themselves in the sand until the rainy season arrives and they come out to mate.
During the wet season, Zebra and Wildebeest migrate into the area as well as regular sightings of lion, cheetah and other predators who follow in their wake.
