Gaborone Dam is a major water reservoir that supplies the capital and provides a recreational hub for residents and visitors. The dam's calm waters attract a variety of bird species, making it a prime spot for birdwatching, especially during the dry season. Picnic areas line the shore, and the reservoir is used for sailing, canoeing, and fishing. The surrounding grasslands and acacia trees create a serene landscape for a day out.
Don't miss
- Spot water birds like African fish eagles and herons along the shoreline
- Enjoy a picnic at designated sites with views of the water
- Try sailing or canoeing on the reservoir (bring your own gear)
