Gcwihaba{{Pronunciation-needed}} is a cave in Botswana located in Okavango Delta region. The cave is situated 10 km away from the Namibian border.[1] In 1932 it was first shown to a European, Ghanzi region farmer Martinus Drotsky, and the main cavern was named Drotsky's cavern after him.[2]

Gwchihaba is a Botswanan National Monument, and has been put forward to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.[3] It is the type locality of the mineral gwihabaite (IMA1994-011).[4]

Even though nothing was found in the first 50 cm of cave during the excavations to affirm that the cave was settled as a camp, 51 stone artefacts (33 of them made from travertine)  were released in the upper  50 cm of the cave. 50-80 cm of the cave is called The Terminal Pleistocene charcoal layer. More cultural relics were observed in this layer. Bones of African bullfrogs and pieces of ostrich eggshell were among the findings.[5]
