Okavango, Chobe, Moremi and Makgadikgadi access

Good international airport to access the best Botswana game preserves and wetlands. Lots of charters fly out every day, strip is well maintained and tower control is impressive as clouds and mist can roll in dawn and dusk but doesn't seem to matter as long as the pilots have the cohones to do so :)

Not possibly wrong - definitely wrong

Nokaneng airport as shown is the new Gumare airport, Nokaneng is about 50kms south. The Gumare airport as shown was closed at least 10 years ago.

Wrong location?

I think that this should actually be the location of FBGM (Gumare Airport), since it's right north of the town of Gumare. The village of Nokaneng is 30-40 km to the south. Even Garmin has this wrong (if it is wrong).

Possibly wrong

I think that this airport should actually be where FBNN (Nokaneng Airport) is shown just to the north of the town of Gumare, and FBNN should be 30-40 km south in the village of Nokaneng. If that's true, though, then even Garmin has it wrong right now. Currently, everyone shows Gumare more-or-less in the middle of the town.
