Gweta is a small village in Botswana. It lies about away from Maun and about from Nata.

== Etymology == Generally considered the gateway to the Makgadikgadi Pans, Gweta derived its name from the sound of croaking bullfrogs which bury themselves in the sand until the rainy season arrives and they emerge to mate.
