Gaborone Game Reserve

Gaborone, Botswana

---

Gaborone Game Reserve is a wildlife sanctuary located within Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana. Established in 1988, it is one of the few game reserves situated inside a major African city, offering visitors an opportunity to experience nature and wildlife just a short distance from the urban center. Although relatively small, the reserve is home to a variety of animals, including zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, kudu, warthogs, and several antelope species, as well as more than 100 species of birds. Its network of self-drive roads, picnic areas, and viewing points makes wildlife watching easily accessible to families and travelers. Serving both conservation and education purposes, Gaborone Game Reserve provides a convenient introduction to Botswana’s rich natural heritage and is a popular destination for residents, tourists, birdwatchers, and photographers.
