Sedudu Island is a small, flat fluvial island in the Chobe River, directly opposite Kasane, uninhabited by humans but a favoured haunt of elephants who swim across from the Namibian bank. The island is visible from the Kasane waterfront and is a regular stop on boat safaris. Its international significance — as the subject of a famous ICJ boundary dispute — is far out of proportion to its size.
From the water, the island appears as a low green mass of riverine vegetation, typically with a few elephants browsing or wading in the shallows. The combination of the elephants, the broad river, and the distant tree line of Namibia beyond makes for excellent photography from a boat.
The island is not visited on foot — it is within the national park and there is no landing point for tourists. Its appeal is entirely as a wildlife viewing spot from the water, and as a geographical curiosity for those who like to say they have been within swimming distance of the centre of an ICJ landmark ruling.
