While at this mall you can go behind it and you'll see wild baboons. I have been going there while im visiting and feed them. They are mellow ❤ and appreciate the snacks. The streets seem to always be empty probably because of the low population and they don't market the country for tourism.

Gaborone has a nice appeal. It's growing in its infrastructure and hopefully that will bring in tourism. I prefer a busier lifestyle and a bigger population but Gaborone is perfect for people who love a slower, quieter pace.

First of all, i have visited Botswana several times and each time hoping i will get to experience the best of it but sadly that has never been the case. Botswana is generally hot and thats a huge turn off for me, i love sunny weather but its BLAZING HOT all the time even in winter sometimes, the capital city Gaborone is sparsely built which is kind of cool because it feels like a little town and there isn’t too much traffic or nothing which is what i enjoy everything else there nothin fun about it, i really enjoyed visiting cape town in South Africa though, i had a blast in cape town really, good beaches, the table mountains, the vineyards man i can’t even say it all, the best part of my trip was when i visited the eastern highlands in Zimbabwe i visited places like bvumba botanical gardens in bvumba, the leopard rock hotel in bvumba was a revelation and that mountainous region is truly beautiful, i also visited Nyanga and got to experience areas like troutbeck resort and mtarazi falls and skyline the falls are a whooping 772 meters and truly majestic i also visited places like mana pools national park in Mash west and Singita pamushana resort in chiredzi and lastly i visited Victoria falls town and i got to experience the mighty victoria falls, stayed in the big city in Harare for 4 nights, stayed two nights at Sandawood lodge and the other 2 nights at the Peech Botique Hotel.

Over population is self inflicted. If you allow the white man to treat your women like cattle with his religion, causing them to breed mindlessly to enrich him and his capitalism, then you will have that problem. Just contain your population and breed according to the size of your resources, not breed for the simple reason that you are able. That is just daft. Botswana is predicted to be a high income country in not so long a future because we do not breed like rabbits. We contain our numbers so we are not frustrated and unable to deal with that which comes with mindless breeding.

Gaborone is more developed than most capital cities in Southern Africa. A small population is not a problem; look at the Gulf states like Kuwait, the UAE, they only number a couple of million each (Kuwait arnd 6 million). A large unproductive population is different from a China, or Germany, large and productive populations. In terms of levels of productivity and management of resources; some African countries can not justify having a population of over 5000, even then I am quite sure, given the ineptitude & corruption, that country would be poor.
