It is along the banks of the Chobe River
that the Waterberry trees (Syzygium guineense) are found. Kasane boasts an array of shops, garages, banks, river lodges and one of Botswana's international airports.

Kasane is the administrative center of the Chobe district and is very close to the Chobe National Park, due to the lack of fences in the Park, many animals can be seen wandering through the streets and campsites of this small border town. In days past colonial administrators used the two hollow Baobab trees situated behind the Police Station as a prison cell and the prison kitchen.
