Question 2

Is Gaborone walkable?

Accepted Answer

Gaborone is spread out, but you can walk around the Main Mall, CBD, Parliament, and National Museum area. Reaching the Three Dikgosi Monument, Kgale Hill, or Game City usually calls for a ride.

Kombi minibuses and shared taxis run along Khama Crescent, Nelson Mandela Drive, and the Western Bypass to the CBD and major malls. For comfort or outings to Kgale or Mokolodi, consider a private tour in Gaborone that includes private transportation.
