See Native Wildlife in Botswana

Track and observe animals in their natural wild habitat on a Botswana bushveld safari.

About Your Trip

Discover your wild side in Gaborone, Botswana, when you embark on an exciting African safari at the Mokolodi Nature Reserve. With more than 300 species of birds and 50 species of large mammals — including the endangered white rhinoceros — it’s the perfect place to explore native wildlife. Glimpse into the lives of these animals by following their tracks and enjoy the fun of trying to locate them by the signs they leave.

Back at the hotel, spend your leisure time relaxing by the pool or playing a game of squash. In the tranquil setting of the conservatory, get comfortable with a good book or cold drink. The Mahogany restaurant features a grand piano for a wonderful dining experience.

What we love:

• Take advantage of a complimentary round of golf at the nearby Gaborone Golf Club, an 18-hole African bushveld course.
• The adjacent casino means you don’t have to go far to try your luck at the slots, roulette or blackjack.
• After a day in the sun or a game of tennis, jump in the refreshing outdoor pool or cozy up in a poolside lounge chair.

Destination

Gaborone is the capital of Botswana and is a fast-growing city, thanks to the discovery of diamonds in the 1970s. Botswana’s hot semi-arid climate is ideal for game and nature reserves like the Gaborone Game Reserve, home of wildebeest, ostriches, warthogs and monkeys.

To get a good look at the city and surrounding areas, climb to the top of Kgale Hill, nicknamed “Sleeping Giant.” The heart of Gaborone is the Main Mall, the financial and tourism center. Historical sites include the Three Dikgosi Monument and Statue of Sir Seretse Khama, the first president of Botswana. Nearby, the National Museum and Art Gallery houses a permanent collection of traditional and modern African and European art.
