5.00I only had one full day to experience Gaborone, Botswana so I decided to book this tour so I could see all that I could, turns out I chose well with this one! My guide, Andy, picked me up from my hotel at 9 am and ended when he dropped me back off at 1 pm. We visited many notable spots in Gaborone including the Three Dikgosi Monument to learn about Botswana’s History, the Main Mall to shop for crafts and local foods, the University of Botswana, and the Thapong Visual Arts Centre. I learned and saw a lot in Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana today and a big thank you to my guide, Andy, for doing great job being my guide for this tour! If you’re looking for a tour that shows you Gaborone in just one day definitely consider booking this tour! Highly recommended! - Nolan

5.00What a wonderful half day. Otto was so friendly and full of information and she went way beyond the call of duty to make sure I had a good experience. She took me to the National Museum which I highly recommend.
Best guide in Southern Africa I’ve ever had!

5.00Otto is absolutely amazing. My only regret is that I didn’t book a full day tour with her because time passed too quickly. The itinerary was great, but Otto’s personality and knowledge of her country made the trip even more amazing. I can’t recommend her enough!
