About Gaborone for Solo Travelers
Botswana's peaceful, modern capital — one of Africa's most stable and prosperous cities, where solo travelers find a safe, English-speaking base before heading to the Okavango Delta.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Gaborone is a safe, quiet, and manageable solo stop — 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.
