Two days covers the main sights. Climb Kgale Hill, see the Three Dikgosi Monument and the National Museum near the Main Mall, then drive slowly through the Gaborone Game Reserve. Add a third day for Mokolodi Nature Reserve or the Oodi Weavers just outside the city.

GC stands for Government Camp, the colonial post that stood across the river from Chief Gaborone's village. The city is named after that Tlokwa chief, and old maps spell it Gaberones. Many locals also call their capital Gabs, especially in casual chat.

Much of it was filmed in and around Gaborone, where the books are set. The crew rebuilt a street of the old city, with a beauty salon, a general store and an outdoor eatery, at the foot of Kgale Hill, and locals soon called the set Kgalewood.
