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.
Return airport transfers, 2 nights B&B accommodation at Walmont at the Grand Palm and a full day No 1 Ladies Detective Agency Tour including lunch.
Drinks and evening meals.
A must for any avid followers of Precious Ramotswe!
Any time (except on Bank holidays)
Daily flights from Johannesburg.

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).

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 a specific personal quote based on any tailor made itinerary you have in mind, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help you.

Absolutely wonderful. Cannot speak highly enough of the staff at Xakanaxa, Kwara and Lebala camps.
Perfect! Memorable. A BIG thank you to Julie and the team. With thanks, Wilf.
One of the best holidays I've ever taken.
We had an exceptional holiday, packed with activities from start to finish. Highly recommend all of the camps we stayed at and Julie for the itinerary...
