The north-south track links Orapa Mine with the village of Gweta.
It is highly probable that this was the track that David Livingstone travelled on his journeys to Linyanti and the Caprivi.
By means of it, one can visit two famous baobab trees.
The first, known as Green's Baobab, lies immediately beside the route and is scarred with initials from a century or more ago, those of trader and explorer Frederick Joseph Green.
Green had been hunting along the Boteti River as early as 1851, but in 1858/9, when his initials were carved into the bark of the tree, he and his brother were exploring the vicinity of Makgadikgadi while on their way to western Matabeleland.
