At the cache site are two baobabs popularly known as the Kavimba Gateway. The two trees have a strong bearing in the settlement history of Kavimba, the headquarters of the BaSubiya people in the Chobe District. Oral traditions of Kavimba suggest that during the 19th century, three tribesmen of the Ve-Ikuhane named Joromia (Jeremiah), Mazungu and Simon Ntengu Silupera, who were the first people to settle in the Kavimba area, camped under these two baobabs. Among these men were two prominent women named Kahimbi Nkwanga and Mmanga Mbanga who were later buried about a kilometre south of these baobabs under a motsentsela tree locally known as Izii. To the west of these baobabs, there were many motswere (lead wood) trees that people used for firewood. The name Kavimba literally means young motswere in the local Chi - Ikuhane (SeSubiya) language which supports the view that the baobabs and the lead wood trees have a strong cultural value in the village of Kavimba. The trees are preserved as a monument celebrating the origins of Kavimba village.
The old badly corrugated dirt road used to pass between the two baobabs at this site, but when the new tar road was made the road was diverted around them to prevent the road having to narrow at this point. There was another baobab nearby that also prevented an easy route for the road, and so a gallant attempt was made to move and transplant it. The tree just about held in for a couple of years but it finally gave up the ghost, being far too big and well developed to have survived as had been hoped.
