Close to town
Small strip for charters, no regular commercial service. Locals will sell you food and drink just off the property and I met my future wife here.
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 :)
Upgrades to Kasane Airport
They have done some major upgrades. But I can't find any pictures or information.

There is no longer an Air Traffic Control, nor Airfield Information, service.
The airfield services the Eastern Tuli Block and surrounds, Mashatu Game Reserve, Tuli Safari Lodge and others

Airport gen
Field managed by Botash, Prior permission normally required, no fuel (mogas per jerry can), hanger / shade for the use of Botash aircraft don’t park there (unless you are Botash).
Accommodation at the Chilly Pot (S20 32' 49.4",E026 04' 44.7") 3.4 km by road to the NWW ,reasonable & clean (Not up market) rooms (Pre-Fab buildings), food good, aircons broken. You will fly final approach over it if you are landing from the west.
Airport gen
Civilian apron is on North Eastern side, Fuel available most of the time, customs office on Easter edge and landing fees and flight plans can be paid / submitted in offices on northern side. Pax not to take photos on flight side.
Machaneng Airport!
This airport need to be seriusly developed and be used by all tourists who visit to the Tuli Block.
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.
