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 located in the Southern part of Botswana. It has a population of 231 592. It experiences hot summers and cold winters. It has numerous tourism hotspots which include game reserves, nature reserves and some bird sanctuaries which hosts varieties of beautiful birds. Moreover, it is an economic hub for Botswana.

Gaborone is the biggest city in Botswana. It is very hot in summer and very cold in winter. It is very dangerous to walk out in the streets alone. It has low employment rate. It is a very beautiful city.

A city known for diamond trading with a hot and wet summer. dense traffic, populated by the working class. Unlike most cities in Africa it is not that crowded and has less industrialisation. Being a resident in this city mostly requires commuting to work with a public transport.

Gaborone is a relatively safe city. People here are friendly and helpful. The weather in Gaborone is pleasant and mild, though it can get really hot in summer. Public transport is available but I recommend hiring or buying your own vehicle if your are to be travelling around alot.

It is the capital of Botswana, where there are great opportunities like business, employment and school. There are many shopping centres available for use in the city and the cost of rent is relatively low. There are great buildings which offer great eye catching content that is pleasing to the senses. The weather in the city is absolutely great and it’s one to be experienced.

Gaborone is a city of warm people. If one is into business, they will be able to flourish here because there are lots of business opportunities. We have what are two drastic seasons, summer and winter. It gets too cold and too hot. But it is beautiful.

Gaborone is the capital of Botswana. It is fairly a small city compared to other capitals around the world. To get around the city, one can use public transport of ‘combis’, taxis and cabs, or hire a private from a reputable company. For most of the year, the weather is fairly warm though temperatures can get as high as 47 degrees in summer.

Yvette, says: 2020

The weather here is unpredictable, it’s always safe to bring along warm clothing and some summer wear in case it changes from hot to cold or very cold to hot. Sometimes traffic gets bad, especially when it’s raining, so it’s always best to find other non-congested roads you can use if you are driving.
