Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Francistown is Botswana's second city and a useful transit stop between South Africa and the north — the Supa Ngwao Museum covers the area's gold rush history and is worth a solo half-day. The city is very safe and English-speaking. Most solo travelers pass through quickly on the way to Maun or Chobe.
