Solo Travel TipsΒ· Solo Friendly

Gaborone is a safe, quiet, and manageable solo stop β€” the national museum, Mokolodi Nature Reserve (rhinos!), and the Three Dikgosi Monument are good solo half-day activities. Most solo travelers use it as a transit stop between South Africa and the Okavango. English is widely spoken and Batswana are exceptionally courteous and welcoming.
