The best photos of Gaborone aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Gaborone Game Reserve and Three Dikgosi Monument will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Kgale Hill for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
Botswana's small, modern capital on the edge of the Kalahari, a gateway to game reserves and one of Africa's most stable democracies.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided photography tour route in Gaborone. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Gaborone Game Reserve — a small reserve within the city limits with zebra, wildebeest, warthog, and antelope, Three Dikgosi Monument — a monument honoring three chiefs whose 1895 journey to London saved Botswana's independence, National Museum and Art Gallery — Botswana's main museum covering natural history, ethnography, and contemporary art, plus hidden gems like Kgale Hill — a rocky hill on the city's edge with a hiking trail and views over the Gaborone Dam and surrounding plains.
Use this page as a starting point for a Gaborone walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Gaborone. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Gaborone attracts visitors for nature and culture, and Gaborone Game Reserve and Three Dikgosi Monument and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Kgale Hill reward those who wander off the main path.
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.
