Kgale Hill
Kgale Hill offers a pleasant climb with breath-taking views of the Dam and city. Visitors can choose one of the three well-defined routes up the hill; each takes less than an hour. There is a resident troop of baboons living on Kgale and a pair of black eagles consistently nests in the craggy cliff-face just below the peak. There have also been early morning sightings of leopard.
Gaborone Game Reserve
Occupying only 550ha, the Gaborone Nature Reserve has a good network of roads where game can be observed, impala, kudu, ostriches, wildebeest, zebra, gemsbok, eland, and even two rescued rhinos, but no dangerous predators except eagles and other predators. There’s a wide range of birds in a diverse habitat of scrub, woodland, and forest. Protected and endangered species breed in the ponds. Also features an education center, two picnic sites, and game and bird hides for viewing the animals.
