About Gaborone
A mid-size city atmosphere pervades Gaborone, which serves as the capital and largest city in Botswana. The locals bring a positive vibe to the cordial and quiet community. Out in the streets, you'll hear the rhythmic sounds of Setswana, the dominant language of the locals. The modern urban center boasts malls, entertainment venues, and a thriving restaurant scene. But the real showstoppers are the pristine landscapes and stunning range of wildlife—no wonder the country is an oasis for safari-goers.
