Tour of Precious Ramotswe's Botswana in Gaborone
This guided city tour in Gaborone follows the story of Precious Ramotswe, ideal for fans of the book series and Botswana history enthusiasts.
Description
The tour begins at the Three Chiefs Monument, where you learn about the origins of Botswana's story and the significance of cattle in local culture and Precious's life.
Next, the drive continues to Zebra Way (called Zebra Drive in the books), where Mma Ramotswe’s fictional house is located. While the house itself is private, you will view the neighborhood and its architecture.
The route includes a stop at the Anglican church associated with Trevor Mwamba, the real-life bishop. From there, you proceed to the Old Tlokweng Bridge by the Notswane River, where Precious solved her first detective case. Crossing the river leads into Tlokweng village, known for the Orphan Farm (visits by arrangement) and Speedy Motors.
The return to Gaborone passes Riverwalk Mall and Grace Makhutse’s neighborhood, featured in the story before her marriage.
An optional tea break at Mma Ramotswe’s Tea Corner is available at your own cost—advance notice required. Note that the television set from the series is not operational or available for viewing.
