Romantic Getaways Gaborone

Gaborone doesn’t have any large bodies of water within the city itself for activities like swimming or boating.

However, you can find opportunities for water-based recreation a short distance away:

• Gaboneng Dam: Located about 30 minutes outside Gaborone, this dam offers picturesque views and is a popular spot for picnics and fishing. While swimming isn’t permitted, you can enjoy relaxing by the water’s edge.
• Bokaa Dam: Another option approximately 45 minutes from Gaborone, Bokaa Dam provides opportunities for birdwatching and leisurely walks along its shoreline.

Tips:

• Remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen as the Botswana sun can be intense.
• If you plan on fishing, check local regulations and obtain any necessary permits.
• Be aware of wildlife in the area, such as crocodiles, and exercise caution near the water’s edge.
