    Botswana can be an incredibly affordable place to live, especially if expats manage their finances well. Gaborone ranks low on Mercer's Cost of Living Survey, and is more affordable than most of the 200 other listed cities. Its favourable exchange rate also attracts people from the US, the UK and Europe.

    I admire Seretse Khama from the books of Alexander McCall Smith. These books tell the story of a strong African woman who became the "first ladie detective" and showed such a lovely view on life! They are nice reading books and you learn a lot about this part of Africa.
    The story of this Chief Seretse Khama -who became the first President- is incredible and very interesting. I believe he(!) united all the people and made them work together. Not for might, money or themselves, but for eachother and the country! That maked the difference with a lot of other countries in Africa. I also believe God blessed Botswana because they trust in Him. From Holland with ❤

    Hello! I am watching from Michigan in the United States of America. I have been reading a book series written by Alexander McCall Smith called The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. It takes place in Gabarone, Botswana, and it paints such an interesting picture of the culture. So I decided to do a bit of detective work of my own to learn more about Gabarone. This video is quite informative and will help me visualize Gabarone more accurately as I continue reading the book series. I think the main protagonist of the series, Mma Precious Ramotswe, would enjoy this video as well. 🙂

    Not enough on the ground research was done for this video, too much reliance on desktop research. So for example in saying Chief Kgosi Gaborone the narrator has just said Chief Chief Gaborone whereas he was simply Kgosi Gaborone, also Uber doesn’t operate in Gaborone, though InDrive does.

      @@FictionHubZA True. A lot of people underestimate this cultural factor. You get people who'll come to your country and demand that you as the host country must bend to their culture instead of them adopting the culture of their host country.
      And when you don't approve of this nonsense, they'll start calling you names. Yet when you go to their countries, they'll tell you straight to your face if you're stepping out of line in accordance to their country's culture/way of living.
      That's why I have so much respect for Arabic and Asian countries. You can call them whatever you want, they don't really care. If you come to live in their countries you are expected to adopt their way of living. You will be frowned upon if you don't because you found them doing their thing and you think your way is better than theirs.
      In conservative Arabic states you'll even end up in jail for breaking some cultural rules because they are tied to their religion.
