Botswana · A closer look

Gaborone

The capital adds civic history, contemporary city life and a southern perspective.

A city with its own purpose

Give the central civic landmarks and neighbourhoods time instead of treating the capital only as an airport. Ask locally about current museum and cultural visits.

Keep the route coherent

Gaborone lies far from the northern safari gateways. Include it because it fits your interests and transport plan, not because everything looks close on a country map.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
