Gaborone, beautiful city in Botswana, commercial business, travel, hotels, growing economy
Gaborone (Tswana pronunciation: [χabʊˈrʊnɛ][missing tone]; English /ˌɡæbəˈroʊniː/ GAB-ə-ROH-nee) is the capital and largest city of Botswana with a population of 231,626 based on the 2011 census,[5] about 10% of the total population of Botswana.[8] Its agglomeration is home to 421,907 inhabitants at the 2011 census.
Gaborone is situated between Kgale and Oodi Hills, near the confluence Notwane River and Segoditshane River in the south-eastern corner of Botswana, and 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from the South African border.[9] The city is served by the Sir Seretse Khama International Airport. It is an administrative district in its own right, but is the capital of the surrounding South-East District.[10] Locals often refer to the city as Gabs.[11]
The city of Gaborone is named after Chief Gaborone of the Tlokwa tribe, who once controlled land nearby. Because it had no tribal affiliation and was close to fresh water, the city was planned to be the capital in the mid-1960s when the Bechuanaland Protectorate became an independent nation. The centre of the city is a long strip of commercial businesses, called the Mall, with a semicircle-shaped area of government offices to its west. Gaborone is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, and this has created problems with housing and illegal settlements. The city has also dealt with conflicts spilling into the country from Zimbabwe and South Africa during the 1980s.
Gaborone is the economic capital as well as the government capital; it is headquarters to numerous companies and the Botswana Stock Exchange. Gaborone is also home to the Southern African Development Community (SADC), a regional economic community established in 1980.[12] Many languages are spoken there, Setswana (Tswana) being the main tongue. English, iKalanga, and Kgalagadi are also spoken.
The Gaborone Dam is located south of Gaborone along the Gaborone-Lobatse road, and provides water for both Gaborone and Lobatse. The dam is the second biggest in Botswana, able to hold 141,400,000 cubic metres (184,900,000 cu yd).[53] It is also starting to be marketed as a recreational area. The northern end of the reservoir is planned to become an entertainment venue called The Waterfront. There is a yacht club, called Gaborone Yacht Club, also on the northern side of the lake. The southern end houses the Kalahari Fishing Club and a new public facility called City Scapes. City Scapes contains parks, playgrounds, and boating facilities.[54] The dam is popular with birdwatchers, windsurfers, and anglers.[14] However, there is no swimming due to the presence of crocodiles gaand parasitic bilharzias.[47]Gaborone is the political centre of Botswana. Most government buildings are located west of the Main Mall in an area called the Government Enclave.[43] The National Assembly of Botswana, the Ntlo ya Dikgosi, the National Archives,[18] the Department of Taxes and Attorney General's Chambers Building, and the Ministry of Health. Near the entrance of the parliament building, there is a statue of Sir Seretse Khama, Botswana's first president as well as a memorial dedicated to the three hundred Batswana who were killed from 1939 to 1945.[62] Another monument pays tribute to the Botswana Defence Force soldiers who died in the Rhodesian Bush War.[13]
Before 1982, Gaborone held one parliamentary constituency, one seat in the Parliament of Botswana. From 1982 to 1993, Gaborone was divided into two constituencies, Gaborone North and Gaborone South. A third seat in Parliament was given to a member elected for the whole city of Gaborone. In January 1993, two new constituencies were created: Gaborone West and Gaborone Central. For local government elections, the four constituencies were divided into wards. Gaborone North had seven, Gaborone West had seven. Gaborone Central had six, and Gaborone South had five.[36] In 2002, the city had five constituencies: Gaborone North, Gaborone Central, Gaborone South, Gaborone West North, and Gaborone West South.[63]
An International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) was established on 24 July 2000 in Gaborone. The academy would provide training for middle managers for the countries in the Southern African Development Community (SADC).[64]
There are 21 diplomatic missions in Gaborone.

Lion Park Resort - Gaborone, Botswana
This video features the Lion Park Resort, located in Gaborone, Botswana. The Resort is probably considered one of the major attractions in town offering activities such as Paintball, Rollercoaster Rides, Buggies, Water Slides and of course a visit to the Lion Enclosure. Please excuse the rather unproffesional cinematography.

TOURISM INDUSTRY JOINS FORCES FOR HUMANITARIAN VISION OUTREACH IN BOTSWANA
We are thrilled to be partnering for the third time with Anton Poplett's 4x4OutFar team on our rural schools' eye-testing drive. In order to expand this pioneering humanitarian outreach to even more children, Wilderness Safaris negotiated co-sponsorships with conservation tourism colleagues in the Okavango, including Great Plains, Desert & Delta and Natural Selection. With the backing of Botswana's Ministries of Basic Education and Health & Wellness, eye-testing started in late March 2022, and covered some 20 schools in the Delta, reaching more than 2,500 children and community members.
Says Moalosi Lebekwe, Wilderness Botswana Stakeholder Manager: It's a tremendously impactful initiative, as eye health remains a significant challenge in our communities, and for rural and remote areas. Most people suffer from curable eye problems and end up blind or with visual impairments because they are not checked at all.
Gaborone - Walk around the bus station - Botswana
I took a quick walk around the Gaborone bus station. As you can see I had a very helpful guide to show me around to not get lost. It's a very busy place with lost of mini-bus taxis (combis) travelling in town and also out of town. The area is bustling with lots of people selling goods in informal stalls. There is also a food market at another part of the station.
Stuck in memories- Botswana, just another African country

WELCOME TO BOTSWANA
Hello travelers friends !!!
Today I bring you to Botswana, one of my favorite place on earth, in probably one of the most amazing lodge I have ever been: The Feline Fields !!!
The Lodge is set on the edge of a wooded island in the Kalahari savannah. This place is a celebration of the serenity, space, and light which flows throughout this vast area. It's easy to understand why the place just have been awarded by The New York Times as the Best Lodge in the World !!! ????
Inspired by the simplicity of the landscape in which it rests, The Lodge is an inviting oasis where indulgently comfortable interiors integrate seamlessly with the raw African beauty outside.
Be ready to live and see with me during the following days, what wild Botswana can offer at its BEST ! ☺

Africa's tallest building (?) and bus tripping to Botswana ????????????????
I started the day by taking an Uber through the busy morning streets of Johannesburg to check out the view from the Carlton Centre, which at the time (April 2018) was the tallest building in Africa. Afterwards, I headed over to the bus terminal to start an 8 hour bus trip up to Gaborone, Botswana.
