About Gaborone
Gaborone is Botswana's capital, a calm, modern city in the southeast close to the South African border. It is rarely the focus of a safari, since the Okavango Delta, Chobe and the Kalahari lie far to the north and west, but it is a practical stop when driving in from South Africa or connecting through Sir Seretse Khama International Airport. With a free day, the Mokolodi Nature Reserve on the edge of the city offers game drives and guided walks.
