Unknown. The airport is listed as 'closed' in several unofficial aviation databases, but a specific date of closure is not documented. Given the lack of physical evidence of its existence, it may never have been operational.
The reason for closure is unknown. It is highly probable that 'Riverside Southeast Airport' is a phantom airport, an error in aviation data aggregation. The ICAO-like code 'BW-0010' is not an official ICAO designation (official codes for Botswana begin with 'FB'), suggesting it was a placeholder or an entry for a private, temporary, or planned airstrip that was never officially registered or has since vanished without a trace.
The site at coordinates -25.337175, 23.514179 is currently undeveloped, natural bush and scrubland. There are no visible remnants of any airport infrastructure.
There is no available public record, historical account, or aeronautical chart that indicates this airport ever had significant operations. Analysis of historical and current satellite imagery at the provided coordinates reveals no evidence of a runway, taxiways, or any associated buildings. The location is remote, undeveloped scrubland in Botswana's Kgalagadi District. If it ever existed, it was likely a small, private dirt strip for a local farm, lodge, or mining exploration that was used informally and for a short period before being abandoned and reclaimed by nature.
There are no known plans or prospects for developing or reopening an airport at this location. Its existence is unverified, and the site remains remote and undeveloped.
