Gaborone Things to Do

Gaborone houses the National Museum and Art Gallery, which displays a collection of traditional crafts and paintings by local and regional artists.
Opened in 1968 the Botswana National Museum aims at creating in Batswana and everyone an interest in Botswana's diverse cultural heritage. Located at the heart of Gaborone City, it is a delightful compound of museum and gallery, which preserves and recounts the traces and memory of the lives of Batswana.

Kgale Hill dominates Gaborone on the western edge of the city. It offers a pleasant climb
with breathtaking views of the Dam and city. Visitors can choose one of three well-defined routes up the hill:
The steep Rusty's Route up the rocky face; the longer Transfeldt Trail up the back; and the undulating walk across the saddle to Cross Kopje. Each takes less than an hour. There is a resident troop of baboons living on Kgale and a pair of black eagles consistently nests in the craggy cliff-face just below the peak. There have also been reports of early morning sightings of leopard.

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.

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?
