Francistown Travel Guide
Botswana
Francistown is an inland city in eastern Botswana with a population of 89,979. It is a useful base for exploring this part of the country, but it is not a coastal or beach destination.
Most visitors arriving by air use Phillip Gaonwe Matante International Airport (FRW), the airport serving the city. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Francistown, so plan around the city and inland Botswana rather than the coast.
