Is Gaborone a good place to live? How is the quality of life?

If you are moving to Gaborone City, Botswana, or plan to visit, you will enjoy every minute you spend here. There are lovely buildings around the city that will just melt your heart, not to mention beautifully planned houses. Crime is there, of course, but it is mostly petty crime like phone snatching in some parts of the city. However, Gaborone is a safe place with friendly people who love to help others, even if they do not know them personally. Violent crime rarely occurs. The standard of living is fairly high due to inflation but very affordable. There is cultural and religious tolerance, with Christianity being more common. There are lots of schools, both private and public, as well as various tertiary schools, with the University of Botswana being the biggest and one of the most recognized in Africa, boasting an enormous library. Recreational places are plentiful, loaded with different activities and various kinds of food. The food here is amazingly scrumptious if you are a foodie like myself. Last but not least, the weather is fairly okay but can be too hot, too rainy, or too cold. I love it.

Gaborone is a small city in the south-eastern corner of Botswana. It is a friendly city, and a great place to raise happy, relaxed and well-educated children. Gaborone provides a gateway to the natural beauty of Botswana, from the vast Kalahari Desert to the magnificent wildlife-rich areas of the Okavango and Chobe.
