The story
Ultrawalk Makgadikgadi Pans Olympus Challenge in Lekhubu Island
Ultrawalk Makgadikgadi Pans Olympus Challenge is an ultra-distance walking event anchored at Lekhubu (Kubu) Island, a baobab-covered rock outcrop and national monument rising from the Makgadikgadi salt pans. Independent detail on distances, route and organizer is thin beyond the ticketing listing, but the setting itself, one of Botswana's most striking and remote landscapes, is well documented.
Ultrawalk Makgadikgadi Pans Olympus Challenge is an ultra-distance walking event set against one of southern Africa's most distinctive landscapes: the vast, cracked white expanse of the Makgadikgadi salt pans, with Lekhubu Island, also known as Kubu Island, serving as the event's anchor point.
