Hi,

Its not always easy to decide in which area to settle in when moving to Botswana. According to you, what are the best cites to live in?

Which regions offer most of the job opportunities, a good quality of life, an affordable cost of living?

Share with us the cities you would recommend to expats and soon-to-be expats in Botswana.

Thank you in advance,

Julien

Gaborone , Francistown and Maun have the most to offer .\

Serowe is more rural but still a good place to live with lots of shops and to eat out there is Khama Rhino at 35 km or Majestic 5 hotel in Palapye at 40 km

Well, the main city is Gaborone, which is also very near the border and only a few hours drive from Johannesburg. If you're coming from a country that is westernised then Gaborone is the closest city to this type of lifestyle. Maun is also a great place, but it's completely different to Gaborone. Maun is the gateway to the Okavango Delta and appeals to tourists and those who want to escape city life.
