About Gaborone

Gaborone, Botswana’s calm and modern capital, is a solid base for digital nomads who prefer a slower pace 🌍. It has growing coworking options, reliable infrastructure in key areas, and easy access to shops, cafés, and banks. The city is safe by regional standards, but nightlife is limited. Great for focused work, less ideal if you want a buzzing nomad scene ☕💻
