Gaborone
A capital built essentially from scratch at independence rather than inherited from a colonial one, a game reserve inside the city limits where giraffes and zebra graze a short drive from government buildings, and the calm, orderly jumping-off point for the Okavango Delta beyond.
The best time to visit Gaborone is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (87°F).
