Timeline
17:00
Grab a bite at Deli's for lunch. The beef lasagne is a huge portion and perfect for fueling up before the evening chill sets in.
18:10
Drive to Gaborone Game Reserve. Park and find a spot near the edge. The reserve is small enough to see most of the wildlife, including birds, monkeys, and zebras, in a short time. Keep an eye on your picnic spot if you brought one, as the monkeys can be bold.
19:10
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm golden light over the reserve. This is the perfect moment to spot the local wildlife silhouetted against the sky.
Local tip
The reserve is best explored by car, so ensure you have a vehicle. The monkeys here are known to snatch food, so keep your picnic items secure or leave them in the car.
Check before you go
- Verify your transport options for the Game Reserve.
- Check if Deli's is open for late lunch if you arrive after typical midday hours.
