Welcome to Gaborone (aka Gabs) the capital city of Botswana. Despite being in a developing country, Gabs is considered to be one of the fastest growing cities in the world...kinda cool hey!.

It has all that a modern city has to offer.

From luxury hotels ,an international airport to world class shopping malls filled with a variety of restaurants ,clothing stores ,gift shops and cinemas.Be sure to visit the River Walk and Game City malls for a great shopping experience.

If you hate road traffic then try to avoid driving in the mornings and late afternoons.If you however find yourself stuck in traffic simply tune in to one of our local radio stations to keep yourself entertained.

Gabs has a variety of entertainment options to offer. Depending on your interest you can choose from the following:
