Just outside of Gaborone city, Livingstones caves are a couple of caves situated on a hillside, quite historic as the explorer David Livingstone lived in the area and discovered these caves(presumably, as they were probably discovered 100`s of years before)they are located in a wonderfully quaint authentic African village called Gabane.It makes a nice day outing, especially as there is not much to do in Gaborone city, so why not go for a picnic to livingstones caves?

The sign just says ‘Internet Café’. Its on Queens Road almost directly opposite the Shell petrol garage and a short walk to the Mall. They have the fastest internet connection in Africa. I have broadband at home in England, but this was so fast everything came up instantly. I got everything done in about 15 minutes that would have taken at least an hour anywhere else.
They are open:
Monday-Saturday 7am-8pm
Sunday 8am-6pm

A self sufficient village, funded by the crafts which are made by the people living on the grounds whom have disabilities and donations from various organisations(rudolf steiner group).Its about 50km out of Gaborone but well worth the short journey.You will be warmed and touched by the inquizative and hard-working residents.here you can buy pottery, plants and herbs and take a walk around to meet the people.There is also a little restaurant where you can sample some traditional food. It is also known as Motse wa badiri-village where people work. Leave a Comment Address: Camphill village, OtseDirections: 50km out of Gaborone on the Lobatse rd. toward LobatseWebsite: mwb@info.bw

There are only 2 game reserves in and around Gaborone and this one outshines the other by far.Generally speaking Botswana is one big game reserve especially the further up North you travel.At Mokolodi Game reserve you will be greeted by friendly and informative staff.There is a restaurant under thatch rondawels which offers great food.You can go on guided walks, or on elephant back, and visit the cheetah rehabilitation centre.If you are in Gaborone dont miss Mokolodi nature reserve.

If Gaborone is your launching point into the Kalahari Desert or one of the many wildlife national parks in the bush – you will need some money. Gaborone is small yet it’s full of modern banking facilities, bureau de change access and most importantly: ATM’s. Brits abroad will probably want to use the easy to find Barclays ATM’s right in the Mall (the town centre). Other handy banks are FNB with their ‘BOB’ ATM’s and Bank Gaborone. Leave a Comment

Are you a Brit abroad? Or do you want to read some British newspapers. Maybe get some cultural information about the UK? Need a new British passport? The British High Commission (Embassy) and the British Council are housed in a nice looking ultra-modern building right on the Mall. Their hours seem to change a lot, so check their website or telephone them.
