Gaborone transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Gaborone Game Reserve and Three Dikgosi Monument take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Kgale Hill for the kind of night that only locals know about.
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 primarily visited for nature and culture, but the city takes on a different character at night. Areas near Gaborone Game Reserve and Three Dikgosi Monument come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day. Look for Kgale Hill — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
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.
