Local tip from Botswana

If you’re visiting Gaborone, take some time to explore Kgale Hill. It’s not just a great hike, but locals often go there at sunset to unwind after work. The views over the city and the chance to spot wildlife like baboons make it worth the walk. Also, if you come in the cooler months like May or June, the skies are clearer and the temperatures perfect for walking without overheating. Don’t underestimate how quiet the area gets as you climb , it’s a chance to catch a slower pace of life in Botswana’s capital.
