Why Walk Gaborone

Gaborone is a quiet, well-organized capital that has grown from a small settlement to a modern city since independence in 1966. The Gaborone Game Reserve, remarkably close to the city center, harbors zebra, wildebeest, and antelope. The Three Dikgosi Monument honors three chiefs who traveled to Britain in 1895 to prevent their territory from being controlled by the British South Africa Company.
