Gaborone flights from London take 13-17 hours with one connection. The city is served by Sir Seretse Khama International Airport (GBE), located about 15km north of the city centre.
No direct flights operate from the UK. The most common routings go through Johannesburg with British Airways or South African Airways, taking around 13-14 hours. Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa offers another solid option at roughly 16 hours total.
Return fares range from £550-700 during the green season (November-March) to £900-1,200 during peak safari months. May to October offers the best game viewing and drier conditions.
Gaborone is Botswana's capital and largest city with a population of 230,000. The airport is small but efficient, and taxis into the city cost around 100-150 BWP.
