What to pack for Gaborone in the fall

When traveling to Gaborone, Botswana in the fall, it is important to pack lightweight and breathable clothing as temperatures can still be quite warm during the day.

Loose-fitting tops and bottoms made from natural fabrics such as cotton or linen are ideal for staying cool and comfortable in the city's semi-arid climate. It is also recommended to bring a lightweight jacket or sweater for cooler evenings, as temperatures can drop significantly after sunset.

Additionally, packing a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen is essential to protect yourself from the strong sun rays in Gaborone. Lastly, be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes as the city is best explored on foot, and don't forget to pack some modest clothing for visiting religious sites or formal occasions.

Remember to dress respectfully when visiting local villages or attending cultural events.
