  • Expat living in Gaborone

    Gaborone, (pronounced ha-bo-ro-neh with an ‘h’ that sounds like you are clearing your throat, although called the not-so-melodic “Gabz” by most ex-pats and many Batswana), is a small city of about 200,000 people and an unknown number of cattle and goats, named after the chief who donated the land. 

  • Educational overview of Gaborone

    Gaborone, despite its relatively small size, has school options for everyone…not that there are a lot of schools addressing expat needs or issues, but choices exist. One first sets priorities, e.g., curriculum, fees, religious preference or primary-secondary school combined, and the path to your options becomes fairly straight-forward. Find the school that fits your criteria, then visit that school. If you find it doesn’t feel “right,” re-assess. Definitely visit all the schools to assess the nuances of difference or “feel the vibe” before making your final decision.
