Beach near Gaborone, Botswana

Gaborone Travel Guide

Botswana

Gaborone is Botswana’s capital and a city of 208,411 people in the country’s south-east. It is an inland city, so the main reasons to visit are urban and regional rather than coastal.

Most visitors arriving by air use Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (GBE), which serves Gaborone. There are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so beach visits are not a practical part of a Gaborone stay.
