Gudigwa village is the largest settlement of San people in Botswana, with around 800 "Bukakhwe" San Bushman living here. The Bukakhwe San people are indigenous to the Kalahari Desert and the northern fringes of the Okavango Delta.

San people are your local guides into the Okavango Delta and the money they earn for their expertise goes a long way to providing medical facilities etc to their village and to improving their way of life.
