Gaborone's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Gaborone Game Reserve and National Museum and Art Gallery, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Kgale Hill — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
Botswana's small, modern capital on the edge of the Kalahari, a gateway to game reserves and one of Africa's most stable democracies.

Gaborone is known for nature and culture, but creativity is woven into every corner. Street art appears visible around Gaborone Game Reserve and National Museum and Art Gallery, music drifts from doorways in neighborhoods off the main tourist path. Lesser-known creative pockets like Kgale Hill reward those who walk slowly enough to notice.
Gaborone is a pleasant base but most visitors use it as a jumping-off point for the Okavango Delta and Chobe. The game reserve is a quick and easy visit.
May through September for dry season and best game viewing. October is hot before the rains.
