Gaborone Game Reserve

Gaborone Game Reserve Entrance

For the Gaborone couples latest activity we went to the Gaborone Game Reserve to see the animals and have a picnic. The reserve is on the edge of town just a couple of miles from where the Taylors live. It cost 25 pula (about $4) per couple for admission. We were pleasantly surprised at how many animals we were able to see. Some were in large groups. They are all a bit nervous so it is often hard to get really close to them to take pictures but we were successful sometimes. We drove two cars through the reserve where the animals are all free to roam. After seeing the animals we ate a picnic where everyone brought something to share. We had a wonderful day; there were so many animals to see.

We saw Vervet monkeys, Burchells zebra, rock dasssie, impala, warthogs, eland, ostrich, and many other birds. The couples in the other car also saw a gemsbok.
