The story
Mophane Bushwalk in Kgagodi
Mophane Bushwalk is a guided walk through mophane woodland near Kgagodi, a small Central District village, tied to phane, the edible caterpillars that are one of Botswana's most important traditional foods. Independent detail on format and organizer is thin beyond the ticketing listing, consistent with a small, locally rooted community walk rather than a large produced event.
Mophane Bushwalk takes its name from the mophane tree, the dominant woodland species across much of eastern and central Botswana and the host plant for phane, the large edible caterpillars that are one of the country's most important traditional protein sources.
