Gaborone or as it is most widely known - "Gabs" is a great town. This town is the pride of the youth of Botswana. There is great shopping, good night life and the best social place to be in Botswana. From a tourist point of view it is also very good as the people are extremly friendly and helpful at all times. Gaborone is the capital of Botswana and is the primary place to visit in botswana.
