Leading Tourist Attractions in Gaborone

• Kgale Hill: Kgale Hill Public Park offers an easy trail to the summit of Kgale Hill, the main attraction, as well as being a recreational spot nestled on the outskirts of the city, popular among locals on weekends. Kgale Hill has gained much attention recently, and it could be the first site you visit, or perhaps you might want to save it for later.
• Mokolodi Nature Reserve: Located just 20 kilometers from downtown Gaborone, Mokolodi Nature Reserve is a family-friendly day trip destination close to the capital. Not everyone can spend weeks exploring the wildlife areas of some of the larger and more remote national parks in the country, so this is the park to keep in mind if you have a tight schedule.
• Gaborone Dam: Gaborone Dam is situated opposite Kgale Hill Public Park and is a lovely place to visit and unwind. If you have some time and snacks, find a cool spot and enjoy the scenery. Time spent here will be well spent.
