Accommodation in Gabarone, Botswana

Gaborone is the capital of Botswana, and for good reason. It is the hub from where the whole of Botswana operates. It is the center of all the main commerce and industry as well as housing the government of Botswana. There are many varied types of accommodation, the finest hotels in Botswana are found in Gabarone that offer a high standard of service. It is a very young city with only a quarter of a million inhabitants. A brief history of the city is that Chief Gaborone moved his Batlokwa tribe into the area from the Magaliesburg Mountains in the early 1880’s and in 1966 Gaborone became the capital of Botswana. Now due to the rising wealth in the country due to a strong economy and the discovery of diamonds Gaborone is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Gaborone itself preserves an offbeat rural charm with loads of character. There is a museum that houses two art galleries and traditional museum exhibits, a must to see. Gaborone also provides a good base by air and road to all of the other regions of Botswana.
