Gaborone is located in the southeast of Botswana, serving as the capital and largest city of Botswana. It is the economic and political center, and one of the fastest-growing cities in Africa. The well-designed layout of Gaborone, with white buildings surrounded by lush greenery and flowers, creates a picturesque scene that is truly enchanting.

The streets of Gaborone are wide, lined with verdant trees, and full of vitality with birds chirping and flowers fragrant. Key buildings in the city include the National Library, Art Gallery, sports stadium, churches, a 43-meter high water tower, fully equipped golf and tennis courts, and other entertainment venues. Located 5 kilometers from the city center, the Notwane River dam not only provides water to the city but also serves as a great place for boating and swimming. The most notable museum in Gaborone is the National Museum of Botswana, founded in 1967, which is the most important museum in the country. The Botanical Gardens of Botswana, the country’s first botanical garden, is also worth visiting to admire the unique plants of the country.
