Transfer – Kasane Airport to/from Kasane Town

Kasane Airport (IATA: BBK) sits approximately 5km from Kasane town centre. We provide private airport transfers between Kasane Airport and all hotels, lodges, and guesthouses in Kasane and the immediate Chobe region – including Chobe Marina Lodge, Cresta Mowana, Chobe Safari Lodge, Ngina Lodge, and all other properties along the river frontage road.

Kasane Airport (IATA: BBK) sits approximately 2km from Kasane town centre – one of the shortest airport-to-town distances of any safari destination in Africa. What it lacks in distance, however, it more than compensates for in complexity: arriving guests are often unfamiliar with the road layout, lodge locations are spread along several kilometres of Chobe River frontage, and the area has no metered taxis or ride-hailing services. A pre-booked transfer from a trusted operator eliminates all of that – your driver is at the gate with your name on a board, your luggage goes straight in the vehicle, and you’re at your lodge or hotel in minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Kasane Airport from Kasane town?

Kasane Airport (BBK) is approximately 2km from Kasane town centre – a 5-minute drive. It is one of the closest airport-to-town distances of any safari destination in Africa. However, many Kasane lodges are spread along the Chobe River frontage road, which extends several kilometres east of town, making a pre-arranged transfer significantly more convenient than navigating independently.

Are there taxis at Kasane Airport?

There is no formal taxi rank or metered taxi service at Kasane Airport. Informal taxis occasionally wait outside, but availability is unreliable, pricing is unregulated, and drivers may not know the precise locations of smaller lodges. A pre-booked private transfer is always the recommended option.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

All our transfers include flight monitoring. Your driver tracks your actual arrival time and adjusts accordingly. You will not be charged extra for delays. Simply WhatsApp us on +263 774 183 027 if your delay is significant (more than 2 hours) so we can update your driver.

Can you take me from Kasane Airport directly to Chobe National Park?

Yes – if you’re joining an overnight safari and want to go directly from the airport into the park without stopping at a lodge, we can arrange this. Advise us at booking and we will coordinate with your safari guide for a direct handover.

Do you offer child seats?

Yes – child seats are available on request for infants and toddlers. Advise the age and weight of the child when booking so we fit the correct seat.
