Gaborone is only about five square kilometres in size but it is the third busiest nature reserve in the country.
Where to stay
There are many different hotels in Gaborone, Botswana that you can select from for your accommodation and you can select this based on the facilities they offer as well as the pricing. Avani Gaborone Resort & Casino has offers for adults and families and some resorts can organise safaris for the customers.
When to go
The best time to go to Botswana to explore Gaborone’s nature and wildlife is from May to October when the weather is not too warm and the animals can roam around freely.
What to expect
You can find kudus, wildebeest, gemsboks, elands, ostriches and warthogs roaming about in groups and if you go during the birthing season you might be able to see some of the new litters hovering around with groups. Some birds can be viewed by those who enjoy birdwatching.
Other activities
Apart from the safari, the reserve also offers a picnic site, an education centre for the visitors and a game hide. The Gaborone reserve is a great place to bring kids to teach them about wildlife.
