If you do one Gaborone Tour...

Timothy and Obakwe were both knowledgeable and friendly. If you do one tour of Gaborone, this should be it. It is both extensive and flexible, tailored to the visitors' interests, and it includes attractions you won't see on other tours, like the memorial to those who died in the 1985 South African raid.

More than we could have hoped for

Our tour with Timothy and Obakwe was more than we ever expected. They showed us a wide range of places in and around Gaborone that taught us about both history and current life in this part of Botswana. As both history and government “nerds” learning from sites like the 3 Chieftains memorial, El Negro and the stop at the Parliament building were fabulous. But we also got to see several villages, the beautiful gardens of Sanitas and the luxury of the Phakalane Golf Club. We ended the day with a much better picture of life around Gaborone.

Culture and Heritage

My visit to the Bahurutse Cultural Site in the Kweneng District was both educational and inspiring, as it gave me a deeper appreciation of the rich heritage and traditions of the Bahurutse people. Walking through the site, Iearned traditional structures, artifacts, and displays that vividly illustrated their history, social organization, and way of life. The experience felt immersive and reflective, allowing me to connect with the cultural roots of the community while gaining insight into how customs and values have been preserved across generations. It was a memorable visit that strengthened my respect for Botswana’s diverse cultural legacy.
