    Botswana Craft

    Curiously located in the middle of an industrial estate, Botswana Craft is a little oasis comprising a handful of little cafes and art shops. It's a little too Arikaaner flavoured for some, but an interesting place to browse if you are passing. If you want to buy a Buddhist statue or some scented candles this is the place to go.

  2. Buy

    Game Store

    Game store in the Game City Mall is the largest super store in Botswana and has got variety of low-cost, medium quality items.

    Oodi Weavers

    Established in 1972 by Swedish apartheid refugee Peder Gowenius this small enterprise produces pleasing tapestries of village scenes and the like (P1,000 for a good-sized piece). Any visitor will be encouraged to see the workshop and chat with the weavers.

    Mon-Fri 10:00 - 16:30 (closed weekends)

    The Bike Shop

    Great little bike shop selling refurbished cycles shipped from the US, together with fancy new mountain bikes and accessories. Considerably more professional than nearby Gaborone Garage and Cycles.
