Kgale Hill (May 5)

The highlight of my weekend in Gaborone (or Gabs) was hiking with Shelton up Kgale Hill for a 360 degree view of the city.  The population is a little over 200,000 and the city is located less than 10km from the border to South Africa.  The hill also overlooks the Gaborone Dam, the primary source of water in Gabs.  We hiked up the rocky face of the hill, called "Rusty's Route," and met a few baboons on the way.  Afterwards, we shuffled back to a local mall for a mango yogurt smoothie before heading home.  The hill was a good workout in the middle of an otherwise relaxing weekend to end my first week in Botswana.  Sadly, however, we bid farewell to both Luke and Sarah as they headed on to greener pastures, Austria and Amsterdam, respectively.  It is possible they may guest blog on Mosimolodi about their adventures during their travels.
