The art of travelling with respect
Alexander McCall Smith's best selling series of books about Botswana's famous female detective Mma Ramotswe, have captured the hearts and imagination of thousands of readers. On this day trip around Gaborone you can experience the real culture of the local people and see the everyday sites that are part of these entertaining novels.
This suggested itinerary included 2 nights accommodation and airport transfers with a full day guided tour. There is a possible second day available which takes you further afield to the edge of the Kalahari to Mokolodi Nature Reserve.

Day 1 You will be met at the airport and transferred to your hotel (The Metcourt Inn) on a B&B basis.
Day 2 You will be collected from your hotel around 0900 and the morning tour includes visits to Mma Ramotswe's home on Zebra Drive and her birth home of Mochudi where there is a fascinating museum. Then you visit a traditional home and enjoy local traditional food for lunch (buy drinks direct).
The afternoon tour includes Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors, Mr JLB Matekoni's House, the Orphan Farm and The President Hotel.

NOTE: If you wish to go inside the Orphan Farm and meet the residents, there is a small local donation entry fee and of course any additional donations are very welcome by the orphanage.
Day 3 Transfer to the airport.
We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.
International flights will add from about £700 to £1000 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Botswana combines well with Zambia and South Africa.
| For each accommodation on this website you will find an indication of the price. The bands are based on the price per person per night at peak season and are represented by the following values for this country: | |

£50 to £150 |
